No Risk, No Reward

The truth of the matter is that life is a made up of a series of calculated decisions which are balanced by their risk vs. reward. Everything that you decide to do has a margin of risk. No outcome is ever 100 percent certain and, therefore, any attempt at anything has a chance of complete failure. We risk everything, every day of our lives without knowing it. There's a chance that we'll never make it to our destination, a chance we won't get to see our loved ones again, a chance that tomorrow will never come. Life is all about risks – you take some and you avoid others.

The reality is that no matter how much we try to avoid risk and hide from pain, it will still find us, even if just in the form of feelings of regret. It’s far better to weigh each risk for ourselves and be bold when necessary, than to always let the fear of risks force us to take easy way out, or even worse, do nothing. People who achieve their dreams are people who are not afraid to take risks. Ultimately the final decision has an uncertain outcome, but we will never know what we could have accomplished if we never put ourselves to the test.



Are you living a life running away from decisions with risks? Make a change today, and start taking chances and opportunities for the future. It all begins with your attitude and mind-set. Not sure how to start? Creator Academy has a varied portfolio of personal development courses and programmes that can help you transform everything from your attitude to your habits and behaviours.
