Why don’t people like to take risks?

For the most part majority of people are afraid to take risks. They are afraid of the unknown, afraid of leaving their comfort zone, or afraid of changing their patterns and routine. The opposite is true for people who take risk and change things around them, they embrace the unknown, they are happy to leave their comfort zones and by changing their patterns and routines they invite the world to join in and experience the world they have created. Let’s look at some of the reasons why people are scared of taking risk.

Fear

It could be the fear of a boss, a person, a reaction or change. Whatever fear it is it deny’s a lot of people the opportunities experience the best the world has to offer. Some fear has its root in past experiences. Very often we might experience rejection from our parents or peers or even girls or boys and we grow up afraid of rejection, so we let our fear of rejection lock us out of great and wonderful opportunities to meet other people and get to know them. This sort of fear limits us and normally clings on to past experiences evaluating the present using the past. To release yourself for this always remember that every person is different.

On the other hand they are those who have a low opinion of themselves. Maybe because of what they have been told over and over again about how stupid they are, or that they will never amount to anything, or don’t even think about. These words that other people have spoken over their lives have imprisoned them to the point where they think lowly of themselves. I want you pose and list the positive things people have said about you, now list the positive things you personally know about you? Now every time you are tempted to think negative about yourself look at your list of positive that is who you truly are.
