Risk Vs Reward

What is the reward? Is it worth the risk? We make these decisions daily! Sometimes more meaningful scenarios arise, occasionally! Sometimes often! It all depends on how one chooses to live their life! Daily occurrence suggests more usual decisions such as; going to work! The reward is; getting to the job to make a living. The risk is; how we get there - transportation! We decide daily to risk our lives to get on the road to get to a job that some of us love and many don't! Reward > Risk in this regard! In this particular scenario - it is literally life being "risked!!" In most scenarios, physical existence is not a risk at all! THINK ABOUT THAT!! Many of us overlook this "normal" daily decision and call it a "part of life!" How are we so numb to these details? This was just an example to bring awareness to how often we are actually barely consciously making these types of choices. However, what about the risk that so many of us think about taking, but keep putting off? The risk that could potentially change our lives forever, (without risking it)! Or how about the reward that we daydream about again and again, but talk ourselves out of!! What about THAT!? Why do we sometimes put off opportunity when it's knocking, but then often defy the odds to be unhappy where we are!? There are so many chances that we don't take on things that matter to us! Why? What are we afraid of? Is it that, we are afraid to tell someone how we feel because it makes us vulnerable and they may not feel the same? Great! If that happened, now you know! The reward is that you can refocus and open your heart to other opportunities! That's better than driving yourself crazy in reservation for someone! Are we worried that if we start a business venture, it might fail the first attempt? Great! If that happens, the reward is knowledge/clarity! TRY AGAIN! What about if we speak up in a situation that we would normally try to "keep the peace?" Are we worried that someone will be angry? Good! Give people space to feel their emotions and create the opportunity for them to HONOR yours! If they come around, wonderful! The reward - It becomes a mutually beneficial and respectful "relationship." If they distance themselves, also wonderful. You're free from that mental cage! It's undoubtedly important to be you!! You are the only version of you that exists! We sit and ponder about our dreams and have these ideas, but all too often we allow them to collect dust. It is my experience to have recognized immense potential in so many people that I love, (including myself). They rehearse these profound concepts - be it about business, vacations, lifestyle, love, etc.. These are the same people that shut the idea down before it has barely come to fruition as a thought! Why do you think that happens? Do you think the reward is not great enough for the risk? What about the biggest risk of all!?? The risk of spending our days wishing we had at least taken the chance!! For example; how many times have you heard someone talk about how they almost purchased bitcoin, but they talked themselves out of it! They didn't follow their impulse! Now they will spend their lives mulling over a missed opportunity that could have changed their life - hoping for another similar opportunity! Lucky for them, opportunities are abundant! Did you know that the only thing holding you back from doing anything - is your own beliefs!? Yup! It's you! You're in charge. You are the creator. Once you understand that you are the master of your own experience and what that entails, you will make decisions very differently. With that, understand that you cannot have a thought about anything unattainable! If you can think it, you can be it - do it - or have it!! It begins with your mindset and beliefs! Are you worried about what other people will think about you or what you do? When you resist doing the things that you're inspired to do and say it's because of someone else, you are handing over your power! Maybe some people do that on purpose so that they don't have to be accountable for their experience, but understand - they will live in resentment of the entities that they give their power to! When it comes to taking a big risk, sure it can be scary because its unknown! Unknown is expansion. Expansion is Evolution! Failure is not - it is an attempt, a practice, a preparation! Are you afraid of judgement?! The only beings that will judge another for trying are those who never try!! Stagnant in boredom and unfocused, they are. The risk of being judged is probably the most influential in regard to decision making - and NOT in a good way. When you put yourself in a vulnerable position, you have to ask yourself; Are these people loving me? Are they paying my bills? Do they want to see me succeed? Are THEY succeeding!? Consider the source. If being judged is a crippling concept for you, then take your risks privately! The reward is far too valuable, even if the reward is simply experience and knowledge! Keep taking the risks! Keep expanding! Every experience is preparation. Trust that you will be lead in every attempt at whatever it is that you're taking a risk for! Each experience/attempt will bring you closer to clarity and success! The BIGGER the Risk - the GREATER the reward!! I challenge you, (and me), to get inspired and take an unusual risk today!! It doesn't have to be some insane gesture, but let it be something that feels a little bit scary and mostly exciting!! Let's start practicing getting comfortable being uncomfortable!! After all, that's when we achieve the ultimate reward - Expansion!!
