Mind you; success are possible to every body if you need it. Starting with risk as amongst things that make someone to fail in life;

Why do we take risks?

We all test our limits as we grow up.

It’s no surprise that as we get older we often experiment with risky situations to understand how they affect us.

We are naturally curious, so it’s not enough to simply be told that a certain activity is bad for us.

We want to find out for ourselves.

What type of risks do we take and why?

"I’m so bored..."

Sometimes we take risks because we’re bored and want to ‘spice up’ our lives.

In most cases this boredom is the result of some imbalance in how we are living.

We may not be using our talents to their full potential and this is when we make bad decisions.

"I just want to be liked..."

It’s natural to want to be liked by our peers.

However, when we let this need overcome our sense of self-preservation it has gone too far.

"Look at me, look at me!"

Sometimes we don’t even care about impressing people, we just want their attention.

This need can be caused by a sense of loneliness and insecurity which arises from bad life experiences such as poor parenting or bullying.

The adrenalin rush:

Adrenalin is a powerful drug produced by the body in exciting or stressful situations.

This surge of energy leads many young people to overlook the danger of risky activities.

Drugged-up decision-making:

An altered state of consciousness might blind us to the dangers of our decisions.

""Money, money, money""

Young people may turn to crime to earn money through theft, drug dealing, or extortion.

Let us see how to recognise and manage risk-taking behaviour:

Start activity avoiding risk and ensuring personal safety

Here are four key ways to avoid risk and ensure personal safety:

Thinking: Think about the consequences of your actions to you and others. When you are involved in an incident that has caused injury or distress to yourself or others, think about how and why it happened and your role in it.

Reviewing: Review your friend groups and decide which groups of friends are providing a positive influence in your life. Ask yourself why you are spending time with people whose actions and lifestyles are full of risk.

Talking: Talk about your worries and issues with parents/teachers and trusted friends. They can support you and help you decide which aspects of your life are likely to lead to harm, injury and unhappiness.

Knowing: Know the actions to take to ensure your personal safety in different circumstances. In particular, have a look at your online life and understand which aspects of it are leaving you at risk.

AFTER WE HAVE SEEN RISK BEHAVIOR THAT CAN PUT PEOPLE IN TO BAD LIFE,THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MECHANISM FOR RISK TAKERS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

Many people are turned off by risks. It is actually easier and more comfortable to sit down in the safe spot and wait. But, this is what distinguishes the doers from the dreamers.

While the dreamers is still sleeping and waiting for the best moment to take action, the taker has caught the rewards. Risk takers are more likely to be successful because they do not limit themselves and are willing to put in their energy when every other person is hesitant.

Note:Taking a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes the furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.” – Dale Carnegie

1. They Experience a Passion in Every Risk They Take.

With risk comes a fire, a burning push to keep you going and reach the finish line.

Most times, people who are adventurous are the ones who take risk. They are ignited with a zeal to reach new heights and such zeal empowers them to be more creative and prepared to win.

2. They Stand Out.

People who take risk are bold. Somehow this courage is shown and endearing. With courage also comes confidence and alertness. When every other person withdraws, they are willing to stay in. This makes risk takers leaders as they are anointed to be by their own self.

3. They Gain Knowledge.

The pain that you know doesn’t hurt. It is actually what you don’t know that hurts you.

Knowledge is vital to success. Risk takers are able to identify such knowledge because they are willing to undergo a process that will provide such knowledge. Through such knowledge, they can navigate future steps and sail through difficult waters.

4. They Pursue Success.

Risk takers know that success won’t fall in your lap. You have to chase and hunt for it. That is what they do when they take risks.

They are shooting for the sky amidst the storm. Through that chase, they find seemingly rare opportunities that may never have been found if they had waited.

Risk takers are active and ready for the pursuit of success.

5. They Are Not Afraid of Failure.

The more risk you take, the less you see anything that can stop you. You are practically unstoppable because risk taking has strengthened your will to keep on going no matter what.

Fear is a mental block that hinders many from achieving their dreams and becoming successful. But risk takers do not feel that fear. They are unstoppable.

6. They Set a Higher Standard.

Risk takers are prided with dreaming big. It all starts from a particular reward attained from a particular venture.

Risk takers want to get more after attaining something worthwhile from previous actions they took. With every risk comes the will to be above average and trudge into newer and undefined territories.

7. They Learn All the Way Through.

It is not simply about knowledge. They discover themselves and harness their own inner strength. The truth is that against certain opinions, it will be important to know that risk takers are not stupid.

They are smart. Because of the learning and knowledge they garner through many processes, they are able to understand what they can take and what they cannot take.

They don’t just dip themselves into every risk; rather, they dip themselves after perusing the areas and dimensions of what they are about to pursue. Then they go for it.

8. They Change and Have High Adaptability.

There is nothing static with risk takers. They attain more freedom and flexibility. They are not found wanting as risk helps them to either define a change or adapt to a change.

Risk takers can never be stuck with the tide. Rather, they move with it and set the tone for even bigger changes.

Granted, doing something different could mean discomfort and redirection, yet getting out of that comfort zone is that which will bear ark and bring to you the life you want. This is why risk takers will always rule!

Lastly but not least; Risk takers are more likely to be successful because they do not limit themselves and are willing to put in their energy when every other person is hesitant in life.
