The Real Risk in Life Is When You “Play It Safe”

Everybody's mindset when finishing school and entering the "real world" is completely backward. They think they need to play it safe and get a stable job they hate so they can prove to society that they are competent or "worthy" to others. This is by far the biggest mistake you can make when you enter the workforce. Your twenties are actually the best time for you to take the most risks and really pursue the thing you love because that is when you will have the most time to figure it out and pivot if things don't work out. Don't just get a desk job because that's what society tells you to do, you can always get a desk job after taking the risk for what you really want.

*Couldn't agree more. I love when people are afraid to take a leap of faith on something because of the potential downside. True, but what if it ends up being the best thing ever? You just don't know the alternative until you try. The biggest risk in life is not taking any risk.*

Inaction is a choice. When you don’t change something you dislike but could change, you’re actively choosing it.

I take calculated risks. I also suck at math.
