No Risk, No Reward

“People too weak to keep their dreams alive will always find a way to destroy yours”

-          Anonymous.

Everybody had one dream or another while they were young and upon all the dreams, some are achieved or fulfilled, some will be fulfilled in the future, while very many die away. In life, what are those things that make you not to achieve your dreams? There are many challenges and obstacles that prevent one from achieving dreams. However, the worst of all is FEAR: fear of taking risks, fear of failure, fear of rejection, and fear of negative comments.

Fear, is a negative mental attitude that barricades you from moving forward. It prevents you from taking risk. You tell yourself, “I can’t take the risk”. But the true sense you need to know is that those people who achieved success today stood up to the challenge. They took the risk; sometimes, they lose but most importantly, they learned from their defeat and tried again. They asked themselves, “What am I doing wrong?” And they looked critically into their pitfall and made amendments. They moved on and tried again. Each time they failed, they bounced back even harder and then one day, they achieved their goals.

Every obstacle man faces and overcomes in life is a step to success. When you’re faced by a challenge or obstacle, look at it from different angles and analyze to see where you’re missing a clue or rather where you’re not doing thing right. When you’re afraid of failure, you will not be able to take necessary action towards achieving your goals. You therefore contend yourself with the little (or nothing) you have and you say to yourself “do not take the risk”.

If the Wright brothers did not took the risk, we would not have aeroplane invented. If all the great scientists that ever lived refused to take risks, the world would not be like it is now. Life itself is a risk.

Have you ever asked yourself, how great you are? Your life started with risk: The egg in your mother developed and stayed in the ovary for quite a number of days. It took the “risk” of waiting for sperm cell. If sperm cell did not arrive, then all the waiting has been futile. Then the uterus never gave up when the sperm cell failed to come-in, the egg is no longer useful and it is wasted. The ovary still goes on to take the ‘risk’ of producing another egg... this continues until the time comes... Now, in your father, the gonad took the ‘risk’ to produce the sperm cells in several millions to billions with the goal of reproducing new offspring. If the sperm cells are lucky enough, they enter the female reproductive organ... And from there, your life started with a race – a race of the survival of the fittest, fastest, strongest, and luckiest – the sperm cell that fertilized your mother’s egg to produce you. This amazing natural phenomenon showed that you were born a champion and if you were able to “win” the race among several millions of other sperm cells to become you, then there is no other race that can be as tough as that one when you were microscopic. Right from inception, you came from the best of the best – the best spermatozoa that successfully fused with the egg in your mother to give rise to you!

Also, if you were able to live inside your mother for a period of time and then pass through that “tiny hole” to come to this world, then, there is nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals. You were born a champion.
