Navigating Risks: Security vs. Adventure Mindset

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

Today’s prompt is a good one,
and it categorizes the life and its teaching into two main points,
how you grew up,
what sort of beliefs you have,
what sort of beliefs were you provided and,
what sort of beliefs you accepted and adapted yourself with them…

For me,
I seek security with a touch of adventure…

I’d go for a new dish at a restaurant,
every once in a while,
and order the usual on the regular days,
and if I don’t like it,
I won’t send it back,
but,
save it as an adventure that went the other way…

When we go out,
and there is a new experience to achieve,
I’ll think about it for a while,
and if it’s not as safe as it looks,
I won’t do it,
but,
at the same time,
the adventurous me looks at the scared me,
and speaks nothing when my mind warns me about the safety issue…

The same happens in the workplace,
if there is something a pitch or an idea that involves some amount of risk factors,
but the outcome of it shall place me at a higher level than those around me,
I’d happily opt in and research it through and through,
and bring it up in meetings or in private too,
but,
with a lot of calculations,
I’d consider it,
if it was worthy of taking the risk or not…

Generally,
it happens that all of us take a mix of it,
a sense of security comes in when there is too much to lose,
and a sense of adventure comes in when we don’t have much care,
but,
consequences of it still are there on one’s mind,
making it worthy of taking the risk…

That’s it for the day,
enjoy the last day of your day off today,
spend some time being productive and preparing for the days that are yet to come…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
