Risk comes in many forms.
Sometimes it is financial risk such as leaving a good paying job to
become self-employed or to start your own business. Sometimes it is a time risk such as investing
the time in an education or new venture which takes time away from family. Sometimes it is a relationship risk by saying
something to someone about an issue that bothers you.
If we never take risks, however, we will never move beyond
where we are. Everyone has a different
comfort level for risk. That is
understandable. It is also important to
understand, though, that if we only take small risks, we will only achieve
small successes. If that is acceptable
to you, then there is no problem. If,
however, you want great success the only way to achieve it is to take great
risks.
Taking a risk is, of course, risky. If we take a big risk we may achieve big
success. Or we may fail and lose
big. If we take small risks and it does
not work, then we lose small.
There is no right or wrong.
If your comfort level for risk is low and you do not want to take big
risks because you do not want the possibility of big losses that is your
decision. But then accept that one
reason you do not have big success is that you are not willing to take big
risks.
Again, there is no right or wrong and only you can decide
what is right for you. Just accept
responsibility for the consequences of your decisions.
