Let me just ask you this, Mr. Risk Taker, what's the bigger risk? Carrying on like you're going or taking the deeper dive? What's better? Take eight big risks in life, sin once, miss the mark once, but get seven, achieve seven, seven out of eight, or take 100 risks and achieve eight of them. My hunch is that if there's a God, he's saying, go for the 100 and get eight rather than eight and get seven. If you're not taking enough risks to sin or miss the mark, to fail, What are you doing? Don't go back with even money. Go back with the safe bets. You cannot afford not to.
I get the sense that feelings are one of these strange bets, emotions, investing ourselves, not holding a bit back, not putting one foot out, like putting it on the line, opening up. Yeah. That feels like... a retreat in kind, but one that's plausibly deniable. When we just have one foot out, I didn't fully commit myself to this project, this relationship, this friendship, this self-transformation. And it means that if failure comes along, it doesn't hurt as much. But it also means that success is less likely. And if success comes along, you know that you didn't really earn it.
We have to define success for ourselves. And then we have to put in the work to maintain it. Take that daily tally, tend our garden, keep the things that are important to us in good shape. No, no, no. Don't study the result. What was the person doing when they got there? And everybody who's achieved something great was some sort of outlaw. Some sort of hustler. Out of balance, out of whack, dark times. Still wakes up in the middle of the night and glad they're wearing a mouth guard because they'd have chipped all their teeth to that nightmare they were having about those things they did back then. I'm one of those. Prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don't spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.
Let's carry on and trust and be ready to do the work to say, we're not going to just let that slide anymore. No, make a sacrifice today. Sacrifice a plastic ring today for a gold crown tomorrow.
How can taking risks lead to greater achievements?
Sacrifice something today for more freedom tomorrow. Sacrifice something today for a possible healthier future for your kids. Be brave, take the hill, but first answer that question, what's my hill? Whatever your answer is, don't choose anything that will jeopardize your soul. If you're going to do it, do it. Say what you can do. Do what you say. If you can't do it, don't say you can do it. Don't over-leverage yourself. Don't over-leverage a decision and then jump in and kinda dip a toe. I think I'll try it out. No, think if you're gonna try it out beforehand, but when it's time to go, dive. Finish it, find out. Come out the other side. Don't leave it and go, If I just want it, uh-uh. That keeps me up at night.
I think it keeps a lot of us up at night. When you half-ass something that you just don't know, whether you failed or succeeded, got what you want or didn't get what you want, finding out and looking in the mirror and going, I didn't half-ass it. I went all the way. I found out, and that ain't for me. Or I found out, and you're damn right that is for me. That's a great place to get to. I think part of the challenges in life is a lot of us are running around half-assing ourselves, half-fooling ourselves, not full of ourselves, not studying ourselves enough, not holding ourselves to task enough, not patting our own self on the back when we do get what we want enough, not cracking our own whip on our backside when we do get out of line even though we knew better.
