Love Risk

The only way to guarantee that you get anywhere in life is to take risks. You might get lucky and be handed a million dollars, but more than likely that will never happen. Now if you bought a lottery ticket and won a million dollars, then you won because you took a risk by buying a ticket. By taking a risk you give yourself a chance to win.

It is comfortable not taking any risks. People who don't take risks feel secure where they are in life. It means they aren't losing anything. Risk taking requires that you give something up. You have to sacrifice time, money or both. Sometimes risking something can bring you rewards that make it worth the sacrifice. This is why we take risks. I mean who wouldn't want double, triple or one hundred times the amount that you risked?

Risking is you deciding that you want to get something. Deciding to take chances in life is probably one of the hardest things to do, but the alternative is also the hardest to live with. If you decide not to take a chance then you may stay exactly where you are. Not taking a chance means you don't get what you want. Without a risk your chance of success is zero.

There is no guarantee that you will win but you can increase your chances by using the "shotgun approach." Hunters use shotguns because the bullet is actually in many pieces and there is a chance that one of those pieces will hit the target. This approach can be used in anything that you do in life. If you ask several friends to go to a game with you, the chances are that at least one person will go.

Life is always about risks. You may not be aware of it but you take risks everyday. You take a risk just walking down the street or driving in your car. Anything can happen to you. The thing to keep in mind is to take risks that are in your favor. Try to take risks that improve your situation or provide you with a way to have a better life.
