Risk-ing Bond

Every single day. . .in fact at every single moment when the right part of our brain tries to maintain cordial relations with the left part of our brain, we have faced the dilemma of making the right decisions in life. No matter what we go for we always have second thoughts about it.
I have always wondered about why we go through this process of aftermath? Why do we question our own decision making capability?
. . . .

"RISK"- this four letter word has a big red balloon hovering above it! The fear of risking is as big as the fear of getting derailed while on a journey in the snow - capped mountains . . . never to be found again!

But why am I bothering myself with writing on this topic ?! Well, every experience we earn in this life is because somewhere, at some point in time we had taken a risk and dared to step into an unknown territory.

From taking the first step to walk as a toddler to investing in stock markets ( :P ). . .we have all taken that " First Step". . .The risk we would have taken  might be physical or emotional but it had definitely made an impact on us, our lives and maybe to a certain extent on our surroundings.

I have always been an impetuous emotional fool . . . and hence I have always been afraid of venturing into that zone. But once you get the urge to do something you go for it no matter how much you fear the outcome.
So even I dared to take a plunge into these waters and discover for myself what I have been afraid of for so long?
. . . .and so I did. . . .I trusted. . .

Sometimes we trust some people in our lives so much that just to gain their trust in return we go on to take all kinds of risks in our lives. I discovered that of all the arrows which I have shot in the dark, this one missed the target superlatively.

I had built a great wall of defensiveness around me. . and though I have demolished most of it . . .a part of it still remains. . .I wanted to be as hard as stone cuz I had seen my vulnerable self at its best. . .but then since it was I who had decided to gamble, I had no regrets about it.

The most important thing which you should keep in mind when you think about  taking that step is you should also be able to manage it. I know it sounds contradictory but every question has an answer to it and so there is a way to manage what has been undone.

I learnt that building a wall won't help me,  instead building a bridge between the problem and the solution might just prove to be helpful.

So, life is all about taking risks. Some will take a lot of your strength to cope up with. . some will just pass by.
But all of them will compel you to move out of your comfort zone.

Try skating on this thin ice!. . It's fun!

Eureka!

Well this is what I might have exclaimed if the idea of blogging would have popped up in "my" mind. . . . but it was something which my brother suggested to me and the next thing I found myself doing was choosing a name for my blog. . .:). . . .


Driveway story will be as  slapdash  as the reckless driving we all hear about on the highways. . . It will be as bohemian as it can get.. . .


The stories I share will be simple and most of them will be from personal experience but what might connect you to them is their camaraderie.
As someone rightly said," Every life is a story, make yours a best seller."


Hope it makes you go all ears!. . . :)
