Until 3 months ago, I lived a very complacent life in SF Bay Area working in Tech. I have since left my job, took a journey across the US and flew one way to Europe in search of a new career, new life and to start my own biz. The unknown can be frightening, but also very exciting. If you're not careful, normalcy can kill the soul and I think I just dodged that bullet. Agreed 100%.

I think the more risk we take, the more accustomed to it we become. It becomes calculated. It becomes a part of who we are. I agree, everyday I feel like I'm gambling with everything I have. I've also noticed that in the states, people have become much more complacent. The general population does not like risk, they want consistency, they want a steady paycheck and normalcy in their everyday lives. I see their point, but I couldn't do it. I like the unknown, I know that I can't get to where I want to go without risk. I'd rather try and fail, then never try at all. Here is to the explorers, the gamblers and those who do not settle for comfort. Brilliant.

Risk conjures so many positives vessels in your spirit. If you fail you cherish the lessons learned and become more humble and aware, if you succeed you learn to embrace that feeling and use it as a fuel to be even greater.

Let the environment do the work for you. Don’t do the right thing. Just be in the right place. Don’t change yourself. Just change your surroundings. Don’t work to achieve something. Let the environment do the work for you.

Don’t do the right thing. Just be in the right place.

Don’t change yourself. Just change your surroundings.

More risks = more experience and with it comes the ability to have better decision-making skills down the line. We all know mistakes are inevitable people builders and although it isn't spelled out in this article, it's a big determinant in whether you are onto next level or not.
