They say before you enter a new chapter in your life or try new things to “test the waters” before committing to something without knowing its entire responsibility that it entails. While this is a true statement no one should go into things blindly without knowing the amount of work required to pull it off. However, there are some cases where risk is valid, might I even say needed. Whether you are an adult or a young person, you’ve grown accustomed to doing certain things your way, loving the routine and stability of it all, however, routine and stability in certain aspects of your life can cause the death of creativity and fun.
Life is about hopping into new adventures and learning from said ventures. It’s about taking risks and triggering the untapped potential you possess. Sometimes you don’t need to learn how to swim but all you need to do is jump into the waters and dive deep to unleash the other side of you.
Disclaimer, risks are vital to seeing new perspectives of life but mustn’t be at the cost of your overall health, physically, mentally, or emotionally.
Having said that, here are some reasons why taking risks and not knowing what the outcome will be can be beautiful.
With Risks, Comes Experiences.
Whatever you learned in school, at home, or work, some of life’s most valuable lessons and experiences come when taking risks. Even in the tiniest of instances, like applying for a new job and lying in your CV, only to find out you got accepted, you are now forced to explore and figure out your strengths and weaknesses, which leads to your uncovering the hidden layers and skills you have, so in a sense, it can be considered as a paid-off risk.
Risk Can Lead to Knowing New People
Stepping outside your comfort zone and taking risks is a great way to broaden your social horizons.
Let’s say you’re a bit of an introvert and you crave to expand your social circle, by going out and putting yourself out there, It can lead to meaningful interactions and relationships with individuals who have unique perspectives and backgrounds. By taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone, you are sparking relationships with people you may not have met otherwise leading to a more diverse and fulfilling social life.
Risk Builds Confidence
Not all of us are born confident, sometimes to be self-assured, you need more risks, cause when diving into the unknown, you strengthen your character and become braver, whether that’s trying new food or jumping from a plane. Confidence is earned when you are brave enough to take a chance and make a change.
