I’d like to speak to you about the concept of being dangerous.
“Don’t be so focused on avoiding danger that you fail to live life to the full”.
Since people were growing up, their parents have always tried to make the environment danger proof, something that would allow the child to not hurt himself or herself. The problem is that as we grow up, we become so intent on protect ourselves, on avoiding dangers, that we cease to live our life.
As an example, think about the last time that you got hurt. Chances are that you were trying to protect yourself from something right before it happened. Being careful requires cautious action and the problem with this is that there’s no way to hit and supersede your goals if you’re cautious when taking action.
So, if you're willing to not take dangerous action, chances are that you will not succeed.
My advice for you is to be the opposite. Be willing to be dangerous and take action because it’s the only way to take enough risk and action to actually live the life that you want; to get the results that you want.
You don’t have to embrace very dangerous things, some people like to skydive or swim with sharks. It’s a good type of danger if you’re into it - it allows you to open your mind to the possibilities. But I’m speaking more about day to day action that you take - without the need to think too much about it.
There’s danger in it but you go ahead and do it anyway.
That’s the type of action I’m talking about.
Sincerely,
