Taking Risks Is Part of a Happy Life
Before I started investing, the risk factor scared me. However, as I grew to understand investing, the risks of investing felt minimal to its benefits.
Understanding the risks in our everyday lives is key to our happiness. In this short, I seek to highlight why.
Life Is About Taking Risks
Whenever we make a choice, we are inevitably taking a risk. Due to other options being available, we are taking a risk in choosing the one we believe is right for us.
Life is full of choices, and as a result, full of risk. Choosing a life partner, career or hobby are all risks that we must navigate. However, it is also these risks that make life worth living.
Happiness in Our Risks
In the midst of all of the risks we take in our lives are opportunities. There are opportunities to grow, learn and experience new things. Without risks, our lives would be stagnant.
To live a happy life, we need to be willing to make bold decisions. These decisions may be made for us, and sometimes they are made for others. But it is through taking these risks that we have an opportunity to learn more about ourselves.
