Hi steemian,
I am will be talking about the gains from risk taking. First, Risk is the leaving the comfort zone and embarking on something you are not sure of the outcome. It is a normal trait in virtually every human being. To take a risk, there is fear of the unknown.
Fear of failure is normal
It normal to be scared, it is normal to be over excited, it normal to wanna shy from been embarrased of people talking if you fail, it is normal to just wanna enjoy the benefit your presence 'comfort zone gives'. You wanna get better? You have to overcome and leave that state. It takes courage start a new thing it takes twice as much courge to continue what you started.
The blessings of risk taking
Well, there are lots of blessings attached to taking a risk and making a success of it.
There is this self satisfaction you derive from it.
You get to be proud of yourself.
You become a motivation to others who couldn't summon up courage to take that same risk or take risk in their own field.
It's a learning process.
You learn a lot from you mistakes and brainstorm on how to do them better.
Courage to try new things comes in handed.
You are overcoming the fear of risktaking and you are on your way to a new world of exploration..
The curse
In the same vein, if you couldn't achieve your dreams when you take a risk.
Self pity, depeession sets in.
You wish you never started. You didn't fail because you are a failure or because you don't work hard enough nor because you didn't pray enough. Know that even God is interested in your success.
You seem to be disappointed in and might begin to think negative.
You become more scared to try new things.
You fear failure more than you had the fear before you started.
Why you fail
Don't take risk on what you have no idea about
I can't imagine an architect opening a law firm without prior knowledge of the field. I can't see anything anything good coming out of this kind of project. Even divinity does not support such.
Don't ever, i repeat ever ever think all your friends gat your back.
Hey, you think you gat lots of friends, they gonna help you in achieving your dreams?
Friend, you must be kidding. Half the friends you think you have are not your friends. Some of the other half are with you for the benefit they enjoy from you, someothers are monitoring your progress and comparing with theirs, while the few left are the real people youbcan call friend.
Play by the book but think outside the box
Don't break the rule of engagement of whatever niche you are into but always think beyond the Confinement. Most people can get greater because they do whatever they are doing just the way the are been thought or the way others are doing it. You can't expect to do the same thing over and over again but expect different results, that's impossible. Think wide, deep think expansion. You can even think beyond you neighbourhood, your country.
Cracked plans
For a begginner you can make a perfect plan. But it compulsive to stick wholelybto that plan. If you discover loop holes in your plan. Meet peoples who are ahead of you in that field and learn from them. The internet is at your disposal and virtually everything can be found on the internet. Seek informations, learn, grow. Don't hesitate to impute and utilize new ideas into your plans
