Risk

Risk, it’s a great game and similar to life, every single game is another chance to succeed or not.

Often, we think that it’s the dice that determines the outcome, and sure in any one game you can have a bad run, but overall it evens out.

There are two things that determine the game.

Having a strategy and taking the risk of executing it.

Life is the same, have a plan, give it a go and see what happens.

Often we get held up on blaming the roll of the dice, something that we have no control of.

As in the game, in life, we have another day, another chance to try a different strategy.

Helping others

A good number of people talk about helping others.

It ranks alongside ‘authentic’ – yes that new idea, where it’s now seen to be ‘honest’ and ‘genuine’ is a really good thing. So before it was good to be dishonest, now we hit on this remarkable new concept, and yes we can make money from it too. We’re now going to be transparent and not tuck everyone up!!

Helping others shouldn’t be a strategy, shouldn’t be something to do in order to further our business to get something back, especially as a planned activity to manipulate someone who has got something we want.

Instead helping others could be something we simply enjoy doing, something that gives us really good and happy feelings. It could be an action without any agenda.

There is nothing wrong in boosting our happiness by helping others.

If we all just helped others for no reason, the world would be a kinder and happier place. This is not some fluffy utopian pipe dream, it is a question of us all making our own choices as what we want the world to be like. We can only change ourselves and not others.

However, our change can be the inspiration to others. They can then freely decide to change too, for themselves.

Happiness is a choice, helping others is too, do not manipulate, inspire change.
