“Risk is temporary, but regret is permanent. If you take the risk now, you will succeed or fail or learn. If you don’t take the risk now, it makes you choose regret that suffers you until death.”

What if I ask you to choose from two pills? One pill(red) suffers you first but later cures the pain. Other pill(green) comforts you first but later suffers you. Sometimes the suffering is forever. What would you choose? The red color pill or green one.

The red pill represents risk. The green one represents regret. If you choose red pill, pain gets cured, but you will suffer at the early stage. If you choose green pill, you will get rid of pain first, but it’s temporary. The pain comes back with more intensity.

Most people are choosing the green pill, believing that it works well for them, which is false. Initially, it may work, and it is temporary. The red pill may scare you, but it gives you relief from pain forever.

Risk scares you. But taking risk helps you stand out and achieve more. Risk takers are very less and there is less competition. The result after success is so huge that you will be amazed at yourself.

People avoid risk for several reasons. The reason may be:

  • Fear of failure.
  • Comfort
  • Lack of security.
  • Listened to family, relations, and friends.
  • Laziness
  • Inferiority complex.
  • Lack of options.

And this list goes on.

The reasons are different for different people as everyone doesn’t go through the same kind of situations in life.

Whatever your excuse may be. You can get out of it by finding a solution or at least trying for a solution. If you just dwell thinking, you can’t do it. Believe me, you will regret all your life.

“Accept failures but not regrets because regrets are more painful than failures.”

Therefore, understand that greatness isn’t easy. Take risks. The riskier it is, the greater success would be. You need to be patient and keep trying without loss of interest.

When you don’t take risks, you will live a normal life, which is comfortable now. But when the time passes, you will suffer a lot thinking about your goals and dreams you left unaccomplished. This is called regret. It’s so painful.

“Take risk now and escape regret later.”

Once you get regret in life. It’s difficult and impossible to get away from it. The one and only possibility would be accomplishing your goals or accomplish something bigger than your goal.

“To escape regret, you need to do something better than you dreamt of.”

Now you understood the difference between risk and regret in life. It’s your turn to decide what you want to choose?

Regret or Risk! Choose wisely now.…
