It’s all risky

Risk is always there, whether we’re conscious of it or not.

Every time you get into a car, or a bus, or a plane, or a train— any vehicle, you risk getting into an accident.

You can try to avoid risk by sheltering yourself in a box and not doing anything, but there’s also bountiful risk in inaction.

You can plug in any scenario and quickly realize that in actuality, there’s risk involved in everything.

Even if you don’t pay attention to risk, or are aware of the stakes, you can’t avoid that it exists.

Yet, despite knowing that risk is practically omnipresent, it’s easy to develop a strong aversion to it.

Consider that risk is always there. Why try to escape it? Is that a productive habit or a worthwhile pursuit?

There’s great risk involved even in simply living our regular, mundane, day to day lives.

Does it actually make any sense to allow risk to impose anything upon you? To let it stop you from being bold?

Why not use this understanding of risk to find strength in taking the big swings?

The risk of inaction can be difficult to identify, but it is surely there, and you may not realize just how much you’re putting on the line because of it.
