Even when our emotions lack any type of rational basis, we
sometimes allow those feelings to prevail. Instead of thinking about
“what could be . . .” we focus on “what if.” But risks don’t have to
be reckless.
To calculate risk, we must predict the probability that the outcome of
our behavior will result in either positive or negative consequences
and then measure how big of an impact those consequences will
have. Too often a risk evokes such a fear that we decide not to think
about it or its consequences at all. And without understanding the
potential outcomes of taking a risk, we usually end up avoiding
risky ideas or dreams altogether.
Risk starts out as a thought process. Whether you’re considering
purchasing a new home, or you’re deciding whether to put on your
seat belt, the decision involves some level of risk. Your thoughts
about the risk will influence the way you feel, and ultimately, sway
your behavior.
