In all aspects of our lives there are risks that are taken and sometimes they work in our favor and other times they work against us. Regardless of the outcome by taking the knowledge acquired from the “risk” you have a new experience to pull from in the future and the ability to use that knowledge in future situations. Every experience builds upon the last and when you take risks it makes you a more well rounded person and gives you the confidence to work through what ever falls in your life path.
If a person wants to move ahead in life they have to take risks. The term risk means something different to every person and what is seen as a risk to one person is nothing to another. It is all relative to the person and so therefore to continue growing you have to step outside of your own comfort zone to reach a higher goal. That goal may simply be to ask someone out for coffee or it can be asking your employer for a raise and a promotion. The little risks taken today lead to the ability to take bigger risks in the future as your confidence grows.
