Take that risk - let go of fear

Hi steemians
A lot of us do all we can to avoid taking any risk. But what we don't know is that we expose ourselves to bigger risks

I know someone that avoided a one of a kind opportunity just because of the risks involved. He was a trader and he was told to come take goods from a distributor since he didn't have enough money buy them. He will pay the distributor when he sells them. He agreed and took just little goods even when he was told to take as much as he wanted. He sold the little he took,paid the distributor and kept his profit.

Now he refused to go back for more goods even though he was told to take them and pay after sales.
His reason was that the risk was too much. He was scared and had many questions. What if the goods get stolen or missing after taking them? How will he pay for them?

He already had that fear and was unwilling to take the risk. Now it got terrible and to the extent that he couldn't pay his bills, he became flat broke
Couldn't pay the fees of his kids, could barely eat or pay rent

He suffered and went through all of this because he couldn't take the risk. Now he depended on people for the upkeep of him and his family.

If he had taken those goods, they're chances he won't be this broke, like we take risks every day.
Life is a risk. We take a risk whenever we board a bus or flight because accidents can happen. You take risks when you do virtually anything in this life so just take that risk and improve your life and well-being....

Good day
