5 Reasons Why It Is Necessary To Take Risks In Life



Everybody wants to achieve something in life. We don’t want to go to our deathbed realizing our life didn’t mean anything, or we didn’t live the life we wanted, but lived the life what others wanted us to live. The regrets are so painful in the end, but the time has gone. We can’t do anything at that point of time. Only choice we left at that time is embrace the death with regrets.

There is always a choice to do what we always wanted to do and leave the life that we don’t find worthy of living. To lead the life we want to live, to become the master of our fate, we need to make some tough decisions. They might be unreasonable, but the most important ones. One of those decisions is taking risks. 

Taking risks does not only involve business, it also involves taking risk to chose the career we are passionate about, to take the unexplored path with no guarantee of success, fighting in a war for our nation, driving at speeds greater than average speed to experience the thrill or climbing a mountain and much more things that has uncertainty of outcome. Here are some reasons why taking risks is necessary in life:

1. We come out of comfort zone

When we take risks, we have to stretch ourselves. We have to do things we have never done before. Facing challenges and setbacks is inevitable. We have to overcome fear in order to get things done. It takes us out of our comfort zones and each time we come out of comfort zone, we grow. That growth leads us to the success. Due to taking risks, living at the highest potential is possible. We use every bit of us to get what we want. As we grow mentally and emotionally, it makes us a stronger person.

2. Thinking at a whole new level

When we play safe, we do not stretch ourselves, we do what is comfortable, and we think small. We do not explore the options that involve stretching out minds, thinking in a different way. We do ordinary things without realizing our true potential. But by taking risks, we put everything on the line, so we think at a whole new different level and we are astonished to know how we could even think that much. We surround ourselves with global thinkers who teach us how to think different in different situations to make the most of it. Thinking creates the outer environment and consequently the results of our actions. In the end, we realize the results are worth it.

3. Eliminates unnecessary things

We have the bigger fish to fry, so we don’t get attached to unnecessary small things. Sacrificing good things for great things can give staggering results, so we give more attention to what matters the most. A small diversion can ruin the efforts we took to reach certain level. So we eliminate unnecessary things, unnecessary conversions, and unnecessary relationships that waste our time. We focus on productivity, not the trash. Getting attached to small things or people can drain the productivity which causes failure. The mind will be trained to focus on things that are important and necessary.

4. Win big

Those who risk big, win big. Taking chances is necessary, because regrets cause more pain than a pain of failure. We cannot win every time, but the efforts are worth it. Because with each failure comes a lesson to try more intelligently next time. To win big, risking the failure is necessary. Walt Disney, founder of Mickey Mouse had faced bankruptcy seven times. He didn’t hesitate to risk failure next time. He took risks on his creativity and he is one of the greatest artists of all time. Those who risk big, win big and live extraordinary lives. The rewards are even greater than we can ever imagine.

5. People admire those with courage

People greatly admire those who have guts to take risks. We can uplift others to live the life they want to live. So it not only benefits us but also those around us and many more people who we don’t even know. The impact on lives on people in a positive way is a better currency there is. It is not about the money, but making an impact that will last long and inspire others to live life to their highest potential and make them free from mediocre way of living.

Risks not only make a better person but also teach many important life lessons. Even though we fail, we emerge as an improved person who is wise and can help others from the experiences he had.

WHY DO I MAKE WRONG CHOICES EVERY TIME?


Why things go right when others make choices for me and go wrong when I make choices for myself? Do I not know how to predict what will work and what will not? We can’t be right every time when we make choices, but I am not able to any exception for that when I made a choice for myself. Or I get so desperate to prove myself right that I forget to do what is right, to enjoy the journey, not thinking about the consequences and proving others that I’m right. Or I make some irrational choices those are certain to fail because those are out of the world and don’t fit into the world or so called system.

When others make choices for me, they make it according to system and those will be right as those are according to system and system always wins. But what’s the point in going according to system if our beliefs differ from what system says. When we make choices those are against the current, the level of determination required to swim is greater than which is required for swimming with current. The dead fish can swim with the flow. A lot of people swim with the flow, because they don’t have reason to swim against the current. When those who dare to swim against and fail, they judge them on the same ability required to flow with the current.

Yes, swimming against the current is an irrational decision, an unreasonable choice. But is it necessary to make the right choices every time. If we start making the right choices every time, then from where we will learn? Either we are so intelligent that we tested everything that could go wrong or we are so fortunate that everything turns out to be as planned. But both of these things are irrational. To test everything we have to know what could go wrong and that wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from the wrong choices. The mistakes or wrong choices made as early as possible have an advantage. The more wrong choices we make, the wiser we become at early age.

When I make wrong choices, every time it makes me wiser. Let go what people think about it. Only those who are dissatisfied with themselves judge others. Instead of helping and learning from others’ bad choices, they are content with the failures to make them feel good about themselves. It gives them satisfaction that there are losers in the world other than me. But those who fail due to irrational decisions and learn something from it, which makes them wiser, are they failure? Should they be judged on the same scale as others who are right because they made choices based on what flowing with current says, what system says. Anybody can do that, even the dead fish. But that’s not a choice. That’s not taking any decision due to fear of failure. Actually it is not wrong to make choice to go with the flow. The types of difficulties are different on both paths. Flowing with current involves competition, crowd and unpredictability of existence. Swimming against involves fear of failure, isolation and uncertainty. What’s wrong is judging people who make choice of swimming against current and flowing with current on same scale.

OPEN MINDED - WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN?


Open minded are not those who say that they are open minded in today’s open minded world, but never let their girls wear small cloths thinking it provokes rape. Open minded people are not those who say they are open minded but do not let their child marry a girl from another caste. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but after knowing a girl’s best friend is a boy, they think she sleeps with him. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but never want to marry a non-virgin girl thinking that she is a slut. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but have problem with their children who want to follow their dreams, because their dreams are impossible. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but never accept homosexuality thinking mentally retarded people do that.

In the society, a lot of people pretend being open minded, but only when it comes to other people about whom they do not care, about whom they don’t give a damn. When it comes to them, they are conservative, reserved, closed minded about some issues, especially those which puts people in minority, out of flow. When they see other girls wearing short clothes, they think this is today’s generation, the world is changing. When their own girl asks for permission to allow her to wear skirts, they are not allowed. The explanation is what will people think or it provokes rape? They don’t realize that when they were the ‘people’, they didn’t care. And only rapist mind is responsible for rapes. Women are raped in full clothes. It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes they are wearing, what matters is our attitude towards it. It is all about attitude. Some guys date those girls who think they are open minded, but do not want to introduce to his parents, because according to them, she is not that type of girl. What type of guys they are? They work with the female colleagues, but never want their wife to work outside kitchen. Why does everything change when it concerns us?

If it not acceptable to wear small clothes, then we should not pretend that we are open minded. We are asking someone to compromise their individuality, so we should not have problem when someone is asking us to compromise ours. If we are dominating others, we should not expect freedom of choice. If we have a bad attitude of looking at others who are open minded, we should not expect them look at from a good point of view because we are closed minded. In the name of tradition and culture, we are putting restrictions on them. Indirectly, we are not only putting the restrictions, we are depriving them of their birthrights.

MAGNETISM - FEW MOMENTS OF ATTRACTION


We lose track of everything when we are immersed in a work we love to do. It feels that the time is passing so rapidly. But when we have to do the work we don’t care about, we question why the time is passing so slowly. We can’t help it. We need a reason for not doing that work. That’s when the excuses emerge. We start finding a ways to either procrastinate or avoid that work. Though, we know that we got no option for it. One day or another, we have to do it, willingly or unwillingly. Then why do we find excuses for not doing that work now? Why does our mind repel that work? Do we lack the sense of responsibility? A lot of people do not reach where they want, not because of lack of talent or skill, but they spend time doing things they don’t care about.

Yes, due to circumstances, we have to make those choices. We have to choose the work that we do not care about for the sake different reasons like feeding a family or we do not know what the work that we love is? We never go deep inside ourselves, because we are too busy running with the pace of the world. Even we know what that work is, we cannot find the courage to pursue it. If we pursue it, many obstacles try to stop us, and maybe we give up because we can’t take those. Not because we are weak, but we are naïve. We don’t know what it takes to get the job done. We don’t know what the future holds for us, so we hesitate while taking the bold step. But we never realize that uncertainty is the only certain thing. So, whatever the path we will choose, it will be there with us.


Still, we don’t take the path; maybe less travelled or not travelled at all, because we don’t get the approval. But deep inside, that thing which is so dear to us remains. It comes out in different ways. Thought it’s not the mainstream work, but it has magnetism. We get attracted to it through indirect ways. While doing anything, we think about it the moment we find any connection or reference to it. We forget the work in hand for some moment and lose ourselves in those beautiful experiences of thinking about it. It doesn’t matter whether we are getting something out of it or not, the experience is the biggest reward. It feels that it counts in our account of life. It makes us feel alive. The magnet has a force of attraction which attracts the truth. We may feel miserable all the time we are into the work that we don’t care about, but the few moments of attraction makes everything beautiful.

LOVE - THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION


When there is no inspiration, the motivation is futile. Because, inspiration occurs from within, from inside to outside, but motivation comes from outside to inside. If we are not driven by a purpose, we just wander on the whole football pitch, not knowing where to score. My situation was something opposite of this. I knew where the goal is, but no inspiration to score. No inspiration to run, pass and score. I had to pass all the subjects, but didn’t feel like studying. I found no purpose in passing the exam though it was my final year. It was the most important phase of my career. If I start right, it can save a lot of efforts in the later stages of life.

But what if we have no inspiration to start? What if we have no purpose? It was the basic thing. Just complete the graduation and then think what to do. I lost the interest in completing the graduation at that point of time and I didn’t know why? I tried different methods to focus on studies and not on everything else, but I used to get distracted by small things. It was like I was trying to find ways not to study.

On the other hand, I tried to test the idea of my business on few people. I went to my college with my friend who was invited to give a motivational speech. Some of his friends attended the same whom I didn’t know. It was an opportunity for me to test my idea on strangers. I took it. I told them about themselves from their smiles, took their feedback and made some new friends. They were more interested in knowing how I got the idea in the first place.


It is always enchanting to tell the stories that are original, which made a big impact on your life. The process was spontaneous. I didn’t want any motivation for that. I wanted to tell them more and more. How this will benefit them in many ways? Why they should recommend this to their friends? Due to time constrain, I couldn’t give them everything I had to offer. The feeling of something holding inside was making me sick. I never wanted something in return, only wanted to give everything I had inside. I just wanted get everything out. I could not keep it inside. I wanted to share the special gifts. The external motivation was no matter, because I was inspired by a purpose bigger than myself. The purpose by which, not only me but also others were benefited from it. The source of this inspiration was nothing but love for the idea, because it was making the world better.

JUSTIFY - THE FALLACIOUS USE OF MIND


When the mind’s great ability, to reason, is used erroneously; the repercussions are unthinkable. When this way of thinking becomes habit, the great things are beyond our grasp. This happens when we don’t find anything worthy, so we try to avoid it by giving excuses or unnecessary justifications to prove that we are right. Sometimes, we justify our fears by giving excuses for not doing the work that should be done at any cost. That does not mean we should use another ability to justify our inabilities. This is what I was doing when I made a mistake and I couldn’t take a stand for myself because the odds were against me. The life didn’t knock me down; I knocked myself down by my own hands. Life wasn’t unfair to me; I was irresponsible.

I was literally discovering boredom in those days. I was not allowed to do anything about making a dream into a reality. Because I got 4 backlogs and my parents thought that my dream was the reason for my distraction. They were right. It was the reason for my pathetic result. My mind was so creative at that time. When I had to study and clear those backlogs, it was busy in creating excuses for my irresponsible choice of focusing on things that didn’t matter at that time over the things that was important at that time.

I used to think that they should not form an opinion about me based on the university mark sheet. The great ones had failed in schools and colleges, yet they were able to achieve something huge, beyond imagination. I can also do that. Why were they taking it so seriously? These sheets can’t decide my future. I create it, not the university. Three college drop-outs are now the most important people in the field of technology and they are self-made billionaires. I was not thinking about dropping out from college, I just wanted to do what I love. Why this sheet of papers will decide my fate?


Actually, they didn’t have problem with my result; they had problem with my irresponsible nature. They were ready to give me four months assuming that I had graduated from college. But still, I was busy in finding the justifications for what I had done. It was of no use. It was waste of creativity, use of mind for wrong purpose. It took me away from the right path. The habit of giving justifications is so harmful to man’s character. It yields nothing, but takes deep down to the place of misery.

INEVITABLE - ACTION HAS CONSEQUNCES


Once the decision had been made by parents and it’s against our will, the feeling of hatred for them is inevitable. We blame them thinking why they were making decisions for us, why can’t we make those for ourselves? Though they want our good, and there were no bad intentions; but we hate them. We don’t like the fact that they were controlling our life. We want freedom of choice, not only the career choice, whom to marry, what to do at any point of time and everything. We just don’t want things to be told to us. When it comes to doing things close to our hearts, it just gets worst. We hate the fact that they are telling us what to do thinking that we are insane or crazy or being unrealistic. Though the thing makes us happy, they are more concerned about practicality and what people will think if things don’t work out. They think more about who will marry you if you fail to make respectable money in others eyes.

But we can’t blame them. Whatever is happening around us, we are responsible. I created that situation; I got the backlogs, now it’s my responsibility to clear it. Their reaction was obvious. Who does that irresponsible thing in final year? I had to follow what they were saying, I had no option. The odds weren’t against me; I defied all the boundaries of their tolerance by doing something irresponsible. No matter how much I blame university or life, it was me who was responsible. They asked me to focus on studies and no business or anything related to that, so I had to agree. It was my mistake. I made them make that decision for me and I couldn’t counter.

I couldn’t stop what I wanted to do fully. So I used to go to the ground of our colony in the evening every day. Find a friend and start asking him whether he wanted to know about himself or whether his relationship will work or not from his smile. I informed them that there was no charge. So everyone agreed.  It benefited me two ways: One, I wasn’t loosing the touch, because it was a good practice for me. Second, I was building a network though I was giving them my services for free. Another reason for giving my services to friends was, I did my research based on the observations I did while hanging out with them. I used to have more understanding of human nature while I was interacting with them. And formed my theory based on the material I was getting by being with them. I was taking something from them, so it would be unfair if I charge them for that. I wanted to return what I took from them, so I was giving them my services for free.

For next few days, I used to study whole day; actually pretend that I was studying and in the evening, consult my friends. I wasn’t enjoying those days, but for every moment, thinking about the day when I’ll be free to live my dream.

HALT - THE SUDDEN STOP BEFORE START


I had 4 months to test the idea. I was so excited that I couldn’t decide from where should I start? I decide to have a team with me to do the various tasks which I was not good at. They can also give me some new ideas about how to run this business. I started recollecting any special incidences from college. I thought that it will be helpful if I present this idea to my friends and take help from them. Some of my friends believed in my idea and were ready to help. Forming a team will help me making up for my weaknesses and together, we achieve more. I started getting in touch with them and asked them about how will they contribute in this if they decide to?

In that week, only after seven days of permission from parents, the results were announced. I knew I was getting two backlogs, but I got 4 backlogs. I was shocked and frightened. I couldn’t believe that. The more difficult task was to tell parents about it. I had to come clean. But, with this result, I couldn’t imagine their reaction. So, I first told my mother. She was also shocked. I didn’t have guts to tell my father. My mother sent me to bring something from market and in the meantime, she told my father about the result. When I came back, he didn’t react. But I realized that he knew.

I realized at that moment that my dream was in danger. He might order me to stop what I wanted to do and concentrate on clearing those subjects. Who gets 4 backlogs in final year? I must be crazy! What was I thinking at the time of papers? The distraction at the time of preparation leave affected me extremely. I knew he was outrageous, but wasn’t reacting. In the end, after the dinner, he confronted me. I had no excuse. I had to follow whatever he will ask me to do, because I made a big mistake at the crucial point of time in my life.

He ordered me to stop everything I was doing and wanted to do and focus on studies to pass all subjects in the next exam. I had no option than stopping what I was doing and do as he said. I felt that I will never be able to live my dream, because the consequences can be brutal. He actually used the word ‘Timepass’ for my business idea. I came to know that he didn’t want to give me those 4 months, but he allowed just for the sake of allowing. I was uncertain about my future of this business. It didn’t even start and it came to halt. Yes, things don’t go the way we planned, we have to improvise. But, I had no idea that I had to improvise this earlier in the journey. Truth to be told, I didn’t have to improvise, I had to stop what I was doing and do as per my parents were saying. I was mad at myself thinking how I can be so naïve that I didn’t prioritize. How can I be so irresponsible? What will I do when I will get into business? This nature is not good for business. It won’t survive longer. I didn’t realize this at that time because everything seems so fascinating. I could realize what will be the consequences of my choices.

ESCAPADE OR IT'S WORTH DOING?


It was a reality. I was getting 2 backlogs at the end of the final exam of final year. But the concern at the moment wasn’t the engineering journey, but the journey ahead. The time to face the ‘real world’ as they call it. I had time to convince my parents till the results were out. Because once they come to know that I got backlogs, there is no way that they will allow me to do what I really want to do.

I was so afraid of facing them and speaking my mind. I never did anything which will show my misbehavior, not even a complaint from schoolteachers. And I was going to ask them for the permission to let me take risks, let me follow my dreams. That was the most important decision for my whole family. It was going to shape my destiny. I never asked them or did anything different like this, so they were never expecting anything like this. My job was so tough. To get them who believed in doing things in conventional, orthodox ways, to support me in my unconventional and unorthodox endeavor.

The belief system is very difficult to change. In additional to that, they are experienced, they know the world better than me, and how I was going to ask them to allow me to do something which is impractical in their eyes. One thing was clear to me; I was not going to do anything behind their backs. Because, if the find out from external source, then their determination to get me do what they want me to do will be stronger than my will to do what I want me to do.

I needed to find ways to convince them and make them believe that it was possible. No matter how difficult it is, it’s possible. Impossible things have been done by people who are not smarter than me or better than me, but by those who stood for what they believe in. So I started finding ways to convince them. I gathered a lot of facts to support my will, wrote every point down in a book to present when the time comes. Facts like, how fast the world is changing and why it needs new idea, the knowledge doubling curve, I was solving people’s problems through their smiles, so why this is never ending business, as no one is perfect and everyone some kind of problems in their lives, why doing business in India is a great idea, because it has huge population, in 21st century, the risk free employment does not exist, even there is a risk in doing job in MNC, and many more. I tried to make it more practical to explain them in their way.


I read books on how to influence people, how to make them believe in my idea and how to do it without hurting anyone. But, the execution makes the difference. I was afraid like hell. Actually, my biggest fear was how my father will react? Will he think of it as an escapade which I think is worh taking chance. I am scared of him from the childhood. He is short tempered. I am more close to my mother. She is kind and cool minded. Yes, I was going to have an uncomfortable discussion from my point of view and an unconventional discussion from their point of view. I was fully prepared and waiting to confront, gathering courage to speak what’s inside which will shape my destiny.

DISCOVERY - TURNING THE BLESSING INTO A TRAGEDY


The time was for preparation leave for final exams. I was supposed to be preparing for those, but my mind was busy in brainstorming the ideas of business. The focus should have been studies, but I couldn’t help it. Whether it maybe bike riding or swimming or a new idea, I get so obsessed with it in early stages. When we could do a new thing, we get so much interested that we want to explore every small thing of it and do it as soon as possible. That excitement is different. For the whole day, I used to think about how will I do it, what is going to happen, and the real work didn’t even start, but I was visualizing lot of things.

In addition to that, I made a discovery. From 3 years, I found 3 patterns in smile which could be related to human nature, but in those days while thinking about smile and these business strategies, I got a new ways to look smile. It resulted in 3 new patterns in smile. I got those three patterns, but didn’t have criteria to relate to in human nature. I was supposed to keep these things out of my mind, but it actually equipped my mind. I wasn’t able to concentrate on studies. I was thinking more about those 3 patterns and how to relate to human nature. The obsession for smile was driving me away from the important things at that time. The focus shifted results in undesired consequences. I wasn’t able to answer questions in orals, college teachers were so disappointed with me and I was being naïve with no sense of responsibility.

It was final year, the most crucial. I had to graduate or things will get difficult in future. The most difficult part, which is convincing my parents to let me choose the road less travelled will get more difficult if I don’t have a degree certificate. Else, they wouldn’t believe in me thinking that if I can’t crack the university exam, how will I survive the tougher challenges of life? Maybe they would ask me to do a job first and then do the business as part time, or they would never be convinced with my idea, because it doesn’t exist and thinking no one will pay me for that, I’ll struggle for making ends meet. Lots of challenges were there, but the most important thing at that time was to complete graduation and if I don’t study, how will I pass?


Eventually, it happened what I didn’t want to happen. I couldn’t focus on studies; my mind was overflowing with ideas and fantasies all the time. I used to open the book, but the focus was on smile. Due to lack of focus, I couldn’t write enough to pass the examination. I left two papers blank, barely wrote to get 20 marks out of 100. I was in deep trouble. Things were happening with me much faster that I couldn’t relax my mind and focus on important thing. The discovery supposed to be blessing, but I made it a tragedy by being naïve. I didn’t even know how would I tell my parents that I was getting 2 backlogs? They don’t believe in concepts living a dream, living in uncertainty or taking risks to follow passion and sacrificing everything to focus on one thing. They always believed in getting a well secured job and do everything else after the start of fixed income. I realized my mistake, but the time was gone. Only consequences were the sure thing, and I wasn’t going to like it.
