Risk Taking

Risk

If you don't take risks, there will be no dramatic improvement in your life. You must embrace courage and risk–taking. What is important is outrageous thinking, thinking that is not of the normal nature. Don't follow the normal path, the path of mediocrity. Seek the adventure of life. Take the express elevator.

Risk-taking means living the moment. Every moment is new. Time is of the past and the future. Those who live in the present live in the NOW which is eternal freedom, a field of all possibilities. So it is important for you to examine yourself. Examine your path. How much risk have you taken? However you should not close your eyes and get involved in some risky action. You must first find out "What is out there for me if I take this risk?" It is always important to find out what the outcome is going to be. Depending on that answer, you take the risk or stay away from it.

NOW at every point you have a choice. The choice is to live in the NOW and then make important decisions. When you get into the NOW you move in a sphere that is beyond logic. So far we know a way of life based on logic. We do not want to enter into the sphere that is beyond logic. We are afraid because it is so terrifying. But once you get into the territory of the NOW, there are infinite possibilities. Remember, I am not telling you to disregard your appointments or your logical reality. You have to do that because you have not fully learned to live in the NOW. Until you make this transition, you will do what you have to do. And then for a time you will be in a state of awareness in which you will see the two worlds, the world of logic and the world that is beyond logic. And then there will be an integration of these two without conflict.

While you are still engaged in doing things which you have created, just float in the NOW. If you learn to float there are a lot of possibilities for you in this lifetime. Only when you feel you are stuck, things go wrong. If you are not stuck inside, you are not stuck outside.

Be prepared to undertake this journey of exploring and being adventurous through risk- taking.What makes you avoid risks are your old concepts of safety and security. In order to make significant changes you must take risks. Before you risk see the pros and cons. Do not take blind risk. This is the practical side. On the Mind Science side, first you need courage that comes from the Higher Intelligence. The Higher Intelligence, in order to help you, gives you courage. It encourages you by saying "Come on, do this."
