Episode 56: Take the Risk; Burn the Boat!
On a scale from 1 to 10, where would you rate yourself if asked if you were a risk-taker? In today’s episode we took a closer look at our comfort level with “stepping outside the box” and taking risks. Sara shared how she saw herself more as a risk-taker in college and the years to follow, and how having a family has caused her to feel like she needs to consider her kids and family when making decisions (which is of course a good thing) but that is has also hindered her risk-taking in some ways.
What influences whether we take risks or tend to stay in our comfort zone? Some of this has to do with our personalities and natural bends, but we can also be influenced by seeing pertinent people in our own lives taking risks and being inspired to follow their lead. Lisa shared how the example her parents set as she was growing up played an influential role in her desire to take risks and live intentionally.
Sara mentioned the book, Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential , by Matt Higgins, and how it stirred her to think about the power of going “all in” when it comes to your dreams, and not even having a Plan B.
(We may get a little kick back if you order using our link!)
Who inspires you to take risks in alignment with pursuing your goals and dreams? Are you hanging around people that seem very content to live in their “comfort zone?” What if you took time to journal and answer the question: What excites you? What dreams set your heart on fire with the very thought of it? Then continue journaling with these prompts:
-
What is the worst thing that could happen if you took this risk?
-
What are the amazing things that could happen if you took this risk?
As you know, we here at Wake Up and Dream are big proponents in journaling to process our innermost thoughts, desires, and feelings! So, grab a pen and notebook, and let your thoughts flow!
And if this episode inspired you to take action, “burn the boats” of Plan B, and take that risk, we would LOVE to hear about it!
Help us spread the word so we can inspire more women to “wake up and dream.” Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms! Thank you! Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!
