The Types Of Risks That Pay Off

You decide

We all take risks and weigh up in our minds in the moment or sometimes with lengthy deliberation if they’re worth the risk or not. Other moments in life we tend to do before we think. These moments sometimes serve us up lessons to learn from. We learn from not giving ourselves time to weigh up and consider. Other times our do-before-we-think risks we take serve us up something beautifully unexpected.

I have taken many stupid risks in my life. I have done some pretty silly things. When I look back now it’s easy to cringe. If there’s one thing I’ve learned though, it is that we need to allow ourselves to make the decisions we want and take the risks we feel are right for us. Without taking in too much of the influence of other people.

The risks that haven’t paid off for me have been the ones I’ve taken to please other people or to fit in. Either way, they have taught me a lot and I don’t have regrets as ultimately risk teaches us and gives us many lessons to learn about how to be true to ourselves.

Our family and friends may tell us to stay safe.

Sure enough, the people around us often want the best for us. Our loved ones don’t want to see us poor, broke, hurt, or injured. But although they may be genuine in their intentions to keep us safe, they might also cause us to feel fear and be worried to step out into the world in certain ways. We may hold ourselves back if we take too seriously the concerns our friends, parents, and loved ones have.

They may tell us to risk it all.

Other people may encourage us to be reckless and bold, to take risks greater than the ones we feel comfortable in taking. Peer pressure can take over, and if you don’t want to be the boring friend it can be easy to cave and people please sometimes. It’s important though to be aware of this and to form boundaries that allow you to stick to what you want to do.

In both these cases, we are listening too much to what risks other people think we should or shouldn’t take. Listen to yourself- first and foremost.

Risk = Reward.

It is for absolute certain that a certain amount of risk needs to be taken sometimes in life to be rewarded. We often don’t think about the small things we do daily that add up over time. These things are in themselves things that may risk our health- both mental and physical and our overall well being.

For example, a diet of soft drink and junk food every day is a risk to your long term health. If it is what you are passionate about and something important to you in life- then that’s for you to decide. That’s the risk you have to weigh up in your mind.

Same goes for our mental health. Negative self talk and critical thinking is risking your mental health. It might be keeping you from becoming the best version of yourself.

Another example is our finances. Sometimes you have to risk some of your money for a bigger long-term payoff. Once again though, only you can decide.

Only you know the risks you want to and should take.

Risk = Growth.

No matter which way you look at things risk is always necessary for growth and what risks we take mean a lot to how our futures unfold.

The type of risks to take are the ones that you believe deep down are going to pay off for you in the long run. These risks may be for your long-term happiness, finances, self-love, or ultimate fulfillment. Without taking the risks we can never see the rewards. If we keep this in our minds as being a worthwhile pay-off, we can have gratitude for the short term sacrifices we might be making for our overall wellbeing.

Taking risks can be as simple as not following a few rules to being as radical as never being socially acceptable. We need to take risks to be true to ourselves.

If you ask yourself when you are about to take a risk, chance, or leap of faith.

Is this what I want to do?

If it is, then do it. Risks are there to be taken and we’re lying to ourselves and others if we believe we don’t take them by being safe. Every day we take risks and often don’t even acknowledge them.

So embrace the risks you want to take and reject the ones other people encourage you to take that don’t feel right. You have to weigh the scales and determine what’s best for you.
