Life = Risk

The quality of life you lead depends on the amount of risk you have taken, for every step of life demands you to make a choice. A choice between what you really want and what you already have by virtue of luck. As popularly said that necessity is the mother of all invention but is that all? From where do the people get the motivation to invent? Surely, it is curiosity in them which motivates them to search, to look for, and to find the answers they are looking for. But is finding things easy? No, by some experience, because every finding requires some risk factor. The risk is to put your heart and soul into that one thing which your mind craves for so badly. Recently I came across a quote, may be, the best sentence said by Swami Vivekananda, “Take Risks In Your Life”..
>If You Win, You Can Lead.!
>If You Loose, You Can Guide.!
A risk taken by one of the most revered spiritual Gurus of his time was in finding the meaning of religion, the answer on the existence of God, the path to salvation, the meaning of education, the importance of character-building, and many questions which had remained unanswered and still very few can answer confidently.
What if Narendranath Datta, known popularly as Swami Vivekananda now, had chosen the usual life of looking for a job and getting settled like all others of his time? May be then, he would have never found answers to the ever reeling questions on spirituality and God? May be then we would have to wait for several more generations to find the answer to those questions. Or may be, he would have never found the path to eternal happiness which he did by taking a risk, a risk as not to choose the path chosen by destiny but the path which he had chosen for himself forcing destiny to follow him and guide him.

What if Albert Einstein had chosen to go for a well paid job rather than follow his curiosity to the path of invention? May be, then we would never got the equation E=mc².

What if P T Usha had never followed the risk of becoming an athlete? Simple, we would have never heard of her.

And then there are many more, who had taken risks in their lives because they understood the vary basic equation of life as Life equals Risk. The amount of risk you take determines what life gives you back in return. Choose to take risk in the wisest manner possible and see what life has in store for each one of us.........for life demands something to give back something in return. Life demands our risk taking ability and capability and provides us motivation to do the same. What we seek from life is ultimately in our hands...................how we look at life lies also in our hands.................................
