Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage you to take risks from "summary" of Take the Risk by Ben Carson, M.D.
Once in a while, we all find ourselves facing a decision that requires us to step out of our comfort zone and take a risk. It could be a career change, starting a new business, or even pursuing a passion project. In moments like these, having a strong support system can make all the difference. Surrounding yourself with people who believe in you, who encourage you to take that leap of faith, can provide the motivation and confidence you need to go for it.
Supportive individuals can offer valuable insights and perspectives that you may not have considered on your own. They can help you see the potential benefits of taking a risk, even when doubt and fear start to creep in. Their encouragement can be the push you need to overcome your hesitations and move forward with your decision.
Moreover, being surrounded by supportive people can create a positive environment that fosters growth and development. When you have a team cheering you on, you are more likely to push yourself beyond your limits and reach new heights. Their belief in your abilities can boost your self-confidence and give you the courage to pursue opportunities that you may have otherwise passed up.
In contrast, being around negative or unsupportive individuals can have the opposite effect. Their skepticism and pessimism can plant seeds of doubt in your mind, making you second-guess yourself and your capabilities. Instead of lifting you up, they may drag you down, causing you to miss out on potentially rewarding experiences.
In the end, the people we choose to surround ourselves with can greatly impact our willingness to take risks and pursue our goals. By cultivating a supportive network of individuals who believe in us and encourage us to step outside of our comfort zone, we are more likely to embrace opportunities for growth and seize the moment when it presents itself. So, choose your circle wisely and let their positivity and encouragement propel you towards success.
