Leadership means taking Risks
Written by Kristen Birmingham, MFT LADC
Are you a RISK-TAKER or do you PLAY IT SAFE? One of the qualities of successful people is the ability to know when to take a risk. Most people are afraid to take risks in their lives and choose to settle for dissatisfaction in their lives. So many opportunities are lost on the fear of taking risks.
The past is the past...it cannot be changed. The future, on the other hand, is ours to create. Being a person of action means facing the fears of risk, by only momentarily allowing the fear thought to be experienced. Instead, one must move forward by making decisions quickly, despite the risk factor.
By taking the risk to make change in your life and move forward toward your objective, you will be significantly rewarded. Rewards are not obtained by those who are lazy, content with unhappiness or by those who focus on misfortune. Rewards are obtained by those who have the courage to lead themselves into their vision of success.
Many of the great leaders of the world identified their vision, took the risks to pursue their vision and succeeded. Initially you may not have the support you would expect, but neither did the great visionaries in our history. When you are faced with pessimistic vibrations, it is only a result of the others' fears. never let someone else's fears dictate your choices.
Being PASSIONATE about your DESIRE to reach your goals, despite oppositions, will manifest itself into an absolute gift. The rewarding gift of freedom from your being stuck is a phenomenal feeling.
Being a person of action is a quality of a LEADER. Are you a LEADER of your vision?
