That's All It Is
Most people spend a lot of time and energy trying to avoid risk at all costs. But the most successful people know that major breakthroughs in life, business, science, technology and even politics cannot occur without taking risk.
But here’s the magic: when you take a leap of faith, your eyes become much more open to seeing possibilities. Without the security blanket of certainty, you go into survival mode. You are forced to use your creativity to think of new ways to live, work and thrive. The best ideas, in my opinion, emerge out of this discomfort.
Sometimes, when you have limited resources and little room to fail, the only option you have is to succeed.
So the next time you’re faced with a tremendous opportunity that bears a lot of risk, I urge you to take that risk. Imagine how the world could look if you are successful.
You will find that your greatest opportunities for growth and success will come from those leaps of faith you take.
