Would You Risk Making A Mistake To Get Ahead In Life?

Oh sorry, people driving crazy. Would you risk making a mistake? Tough questions again. Answer it for yourself. Where’s your risk tolerance at? Do you even consider taking risks a possibility? Or maybe that you are just not quite sure of the definition of risk and don’t realize that you take quite a bit every day. I think that’s the case for most people, is that risk is one of those terms, what is that? Weird pole thing attached to the light post. Interesting.

That a lot of people don’t understand what risk means and that it’s just a natural occurrence in life. If you leave your house, you’ve opened yourself up to a new set of risks. As soon as you wake up you’ve dropped a set of risks for a new set of risks of varying importance, urgency and degree.

So, whether or not you would take a risk, and it ends up as a mistake, it’s kind of a moot point because you do anyway. Whether or not you acknowledge it. Now, would you do it on purpose knowing that a mistake is possible? That’s when we get into the nitty gritty details of whether or not someone will be adventurous enough to try things out. And I think you’ll see that if you simply reframe the idea of a mistake as opportunity to learn, you know kind of like the scientific method, that it won’t be that big of a deal.

As long as you’re not killing anybody, or blowing the world up in a ball of fire, pretty much anything you do has a possibility of failure. But with that failure, comes a lesson learned. So look at what you do. Look at the risks you take, and the daily activities that maybe you might be putting off. Or the goals and dreams that you have available and see exactly what could you possibly gain from them. And what lesson could you learn. And see if the risk is really worth it. I think that you’ll see that it is, but let the surprises and learnings come at your own pace. That’s all I got for this time. See you later. Thanks for watching. Bye.

"But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure. In order to preserve it there is nothing more useful than renouncing your own will and substituting for it the will of the divine heart. In this way his will can carry out for us whatever contributes to his glory, and we will be happy to be his subjects and to trust entirely in him." -St Margaret Mary Alacoque
