How to Take Risk
Intuitive Insights, by Francine Haydon and Patricia Garry A
CCORDING TO Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, “risk” is “someone or something that may cause injury or harm.” The idea of risk represents a possible danger or
peril, but one which could also offers thrills and challenges, as well as substantial rewards, if one is successful in their ef- forts. Several old adages express this theme, such as, “nothing ventured, nothing gained” or “life is too short to play it safe.” These sayings have stayed in use through the ages because they are true. Without risk takers, the world would be a very dull, non-
evolved and uninspired place. We wouldn’t have maps of the world, electricity, airplanes or cures for a multitude of diseases. We would still be in the Stone Age or Dark Ages. Fortunately, many people overcame their fear of falling off the edge of the flat world, being struck by lightening or dying from the disease they were trying to cure because the benefits of the potential outcome far outweighed the risk. You can do it, too! Some people thrive on the thrill of diving right in to see
what will happen. They like the unknown and “what ifs.” The unknown factors inspire their courage. Others do their research, analyze the potential outcome and
perils involved and formulate calculated risks. This is what most scientists and business people do. But when it comes right down to it, even they have to take that final plunge. And, of course, we’re also talking about spiritual risk here.
Taking the risk of actually trying the techniques and concepts in all those books you’ve been reading, all those seminars and workshops you’ve been attending. You’ve always been aware of being a little bit intuitive,
and lately you think you are becoming more so. You just know when the kids are coming home late, and then you get the phone call confirming it. Pretty scary sometimes, huh? Only because you’ve been taught it’s not normal to be intuitive, when actually it is very normal. So sign up for that class, take that interactive online test or simply don’t answer the phone until you relax and let your intuition tell you who it is. This is spiritual risk taking at a fairly easy level.

September-October 2010 What
about a high- er level risk? Medi- tation will change your life. Take the risk of meditating every day for 10 minutes, any method you choose. Check your calendar after 30 days and evaluate what has happened as a result of your commitment to change. You will be amazed. Aff i rmat ions
work; when we take the risk of saying them over and over and over. Visual- izations, 5 minutes a day, are major life changers…when we finally give up being afraid of those changes we say we want. Don’t spend your time on psychological digging into why you don’t do what you know will work for you. Quit thinking about it. Risk involves taking action, tackling the challenges and fol- lowing your dreams. Choose life – take the risk.
