Why You Should Take The Risk You've Been Holding Back On

Taking risks doesn’t always pay off the way you expect. But it always pays off.

Every investment I have ever made – into my personal development, my studies, my work, my health – has always paid off.

I’ve made some great investments, and I’ve made some unwise investments too. The kind where they promise you oodles of money if you just sign up for their “special secret system” and you end up feeling bamboozled and asking for a refund.

This didn’t just happen to me once. Or even twice. This happened to me three times.

At the time, it felt like I had been ripped off.

But then, a few months down the track, I saw how the investment might not have directly paid off, but indirectly, it taught me a lot about business. A small price to pay for a lesson learned.

I don’t even care that I lost money. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it exactly the same.

I want to live a life of bold moves. I want to be the kind of person who takes risks, and believes in herself.

My great aunt bought a house before she even saw it.

Some might say that is foolish, but if it is, I aspire to that kind of foolishness.

I want to take giant risks and live with my heart on my sleeve. I want to live.
