There is no greater day than today, April 23, National Take a Chance Day, to stick your neck out and take a chance. You’ve likely heard the expression, “the biggest risk is not taking one.” Still, many of us are not inherently inclined to take risks. If you are risk-averse, you may find the motivation to pursue your ambitions that you have been reluctant to pursue today. Here are some suggestions on how to take the first step towards taking a chance.
The background of National Take a Chance Day
Who established today as National Take a risk Day is unclear, but we can all appreciate their willingness to take a risk with their holiday concept. It appears to have taken off!
Everyone has struggled with the decision to take a risk. Whether it be starting a new business, asking someone to the prom, or simply jumping off the platform while zip-lining. Every day, we encounter situations that technically qualify as “taking a chance.” Therefore, why not prepare for it?
Today is a great day to comprehend why we sometimes prevent ourselves from pursuing our ambitions and maximising our potential. More often than not, the probability of failure is lower than we anticipate. Recognising this and placing failure in the proper context is the best way to overcome the dread of taking risks.
“Sometimes You Win – Sometimes You Learn” was written by Dr. John C. Maxwell. The premise of his book is that we learn the most from our greatest setbacks. Constantly hedging your bets prevents you from experiencing loss.
So take some risks in life! Let’s get started immediately!
