All of us have areas of our lives that we would like to change, but one of the things that can stop us is fear of taking a risk. Are you risk adverse? There are small risks, medium risks and risks that will make major changes to our lives. There are even risks that feel like death.
Small risks are like asking for help on a project, or trying a new restaurant. A medium risk might be something like leaving a bad job. But a life-changing risk is something else. It may feel like it takes more courage than one has. Like a divorce, for instance, or moving to another part of the country without a job.
At what level does risk become foolhardy? The truth is, if you are thinking of taking a major risk it is usually not a foolish thought. The question to contemplate is whether you are being true to yourself. Would risking add new opportunities and larger dimensions to your life?
Being willing to take risks can lead to a great contentment and personal growth. If you are contemplating a risk that seems overwhelming, now is the time to shore up your inner strength and move forward in the service of your own destiny.
