Life is a gamble. You win some, and you lose some. You may be fortunate never to have lost any, but then again, that will likely only happen if you are not sitting at the table.
There are many tables. You could be at one where you always win: It’s safe, predictable, but in all likelihood, it’s also rather dull and mundane. You can deal with it almost with closed eyes, or so it seems. The chances are slim that you will win big either.
Or, you could sit at a different table. You choose a career, a new job, a specific position, and take a chance. You move to a new city, build a relationship and create friendships, all with their risks. Yet, at each point, we are going through your internal assessments, weighing the odds of your success, and picking one you think is stacking in your favor.
Where in your life have you attained success today without taking some risk? You may be apprehensive, but when you haven’t gone all-in, you have typically not succeeded. Yes, life is a gamble, but taking a risk on yourself may lead to some of the biggest wins in life.
