Taking risks allows us to grow

Taking risks is something necessary to be able to achieve our goals and transform little by little into someone very similar to our ideal.. But, doesn’t it happen to you that the word “risk” immediately produces a great rejection in you? We are not used to taking risks, but rather avoiding them and protecting ourselves against them.

It’s something completely normal. If we can, we always look for the easiest and safest way to achieve everything we set out to do, but isn’t this a symptom of weakness? Wanting everything to be so easy is not good, the result will not be as satisfactory.

“He who is not brave enough to take risks will not achieve anything in life.”

-Muhammad Ali-

The fear of taking risks and making mistakes

This is something that is still difficult for us to overcome, because it seems that we are still stuck in the belief that making mistakes is something we should be ashamed of, something we should run away from whenever possible. But, always reiterating the same thing, Making mistakes is essential to be able to learn, know where we failed, rectify and move forward with our purposes.. Are you afraid? Of course, but all fear must be overcome.

We cannot continue with the false belief that mistakes make us weak, make us incapable, make it impossible for us to achieve what we want.. There is nothing further from reality, since mistakes allow us to achieve everything we want, even if we do not see it that way.

“Free yourself from the obligation to be perfect, you have the right to make mistakes, as many as you need to learn the lessons of life.”

-Axedsilence-

Take risks and you will make mistakes! But this will allow you to see where you are failing, be able to correct it and continue growing. How did you learn to walk? Falling… How have you learned to read? Making mistakes… Nothing is easy and without risks there will never be successes.

If you fail, nothing happens

Imagine that you take a big risk to move a business forward or study what you have always wanted. There are things that are difficult to carry out, because doing so requires a real sacrifice. But does taking risks mean that everything will be okay?

Taking risks will not always result in something positive, but it will give you the satisfaction of having tried and discarding a path that you believed was the right one to follow.. Even if you fail, even if you find yourself at a crossroads, don’t worry. You have made the best of choices.

Think that without risks you can’t know where your limits are either.. No one is born knowing what they are good at, what they are bad at, what their weaknesses are… No one knows, but you learn by making mistakes and taking risks.

“Flying is an art; or rather a trick. The trick is to learn to throw yourself on the ground and miss.”

-Douglas Adams-

Even if you take risks and fail, don’t be afraid so you can continue taking risks again and again. Think about the thrill of taking that risk. What goes wrong? No problem. Get up and choose another possibility. Life is full of them, only you set the limits.

What if it turns out well?

This is another of the many options. Imagine the amount of risks many people take and it turns out really well. Can you really live with the uncertainty of “what if…”? Taking risks will allow you to rule out options that would otherwise remain in your mind as a missed opportunity..

Sometimes, we are not aware that sometimes to win you have to lose. We live in fear of facing our own dreams because we don’t believe in ourselves. Do you have something to lose? Take risks and learn to see your goals as something that you can achieve if you want..

Nothing comes alone, think that you have to fight for everything. The problem comes with the fears that make us end our lives regretting everything we have not done and wanted to do. I’m sure you don’t want that.

“It is necessary to take risks, follow certain paths and abandon others. No one is able to choose without fear”.

-Paulo Coelho-

Don’t stop thinking about your goal

There should only be one thing clear in your mind: your goal.. Then, if you have to take a risk, do it! If it has to go wrong, so be it! But, think that it can also turn out well, but you can’t know that until you try it.

Start taking risks today for what you truly want, without being afraid of anything, without being afraid of yourself and the mistakes you may make. Life is full of them, but they allow you to grow and learn. Make mistakes, take risks, live…
