Risk.
I have come to believe that the only denominator of ultra successful people is their ability to accept and manage risk. This factor above all others is the one thing that determines when you are ready to take your destiny in your own hands. This factor determines the type of job, school, significant other, and an infinite number of other things that you choose.
So what is risk? In my humble opinion, what we deem as risky is a logical interpretation of our emotional fear of the unknown. That means when we say something is too risky, we are justifying our fears.
If that is true, then what separates the risk takers from the security takers is their ability to act in spite of their fear. They don’t conquer, overcome, or squash their fears. They feel the fear and act.
THEY FEEL THE FEAR AND ACT.
In an attempt to take my own advice, I finally pulled the trigger and started my own business. It is registered with the state, has a business account, business structure, and by the end of the month a marketing package including a website. I have been wanting to do this since 2012, but have always had an excuse. I had fear justified by the “risk”.
After taking action I was surprised by how ready I really was. This whole adventure is quickly snowballing into an awesome adventure. An experience that I would not of even had if I didn’t act.
I plea with you. Do not let fear stop you from taking action. In fact, I would suggest that when you think something is too risky, that may be the signal to tell you that a great opportunity is at your doorstep, but only if you choose to act.

To my fellow free thinkers,
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for your invigorating passion to keeping the art of thought alive despite the blatant lack of it in most cultures today. I’m a philosopher, filmmaker, writer, actor, and poet (amongst other things). I’ve published 9 books ranging from philosophy, poetry, academic, and most recently my first fictional narrative which is a horror (though I have written hundreds of fictional screenplays).
With the immense gratitude I have to your entrepreneurial endeavors and creative cultivation I’d like to attach my 2nd book in the genre of Thought that I’ve recently published along with a link to my work. My art is always from the heart and beyond myself.
If further interested in my observations and essays upon human consciousness, creativity and nature, you can also watch some of my films in which I act in, write, self-produce, direct, do the cinematography, sound, editing, and most recently in my 3rd feature even composed the original score. The reason we decide to be philosophers is because we consciously choose to develop ourselves in a society that passively tells us not to – it is the courageous that think and it is the thinkers that evolve society because they’ve first watered themselves and sought after adequate sunlight; they are also patient enough to wait out the storm - wind, lightening, darkness - growth begins when patience unknowingly becomes bravery.
