How Risky Are You?

As we go about our lives, we must be aware of the risks. Risks are the seas of chance, where we can sink or swim on one decision. To have a safe voyage and reach port, we must be aware of the dangers on the way. Many problems lurk deep within the depths. Without a plan to guide us, we increase our chances of encountering danger.

If you want to go on risky adventures on the sea, you must be aware of two things:

1. Do not let fear paralyze you from making important decisions.
2.  Reduce the odds of a bad outcome by planning your risks in advance. This will help control the stormy, spur of the moment decisions that are often disastrous.

Not all risks are bad, of course. Many of them are positive and life-changing. There is something exciting about risking something for a chance of a better life. A healthy dose of ambition, combined with good common sense, will often be enough for success.

A well-thought-out voyage with calculated risks has a high chance of reaching port. Apply these two techniques whenever you are about to go on a voyage. Your ship is in port, and your crew awaits your orders. Are you ready to sail to success?
