Are You Prepared For That Decision That Will Ruin Your Life?

What's riskier? Staying in a job you're not growing in, or quitting your job and starting all over? James Altucher asked one of the most brilliant questions: "How many people can make a major decision that will ruin your life?" If all it takes is one person to say "You're fired" or "Our entire department is getting laid off" or "Amazon just bought our competitor, we're screwed," then who's at risk more? The person who didn't take any risks with their career and was relying on permission from other people to learn new skills and move up the corporate ladder? Or the person that said to themselves, "I've seen this story before. It doesn't end well. Why don't I pack my bags, get my life together, try some new things and see what sticks." It's impossible to live life without risk. If you're avoiding it, you're asking for a miserable, unfulfilled life. "It is in the presence of danger that we are gifted with the strong incentive for action, dedication and surpassing oneself" ~ Anne Dufourmantelle (To the people who have a spouse, children, mortgage, etc - Risk is not saying YOLO and missing your child's tuition payments. Risk is understanding that the best way to take care of your family is to make sure you're prepared when that 1 person makes a decision to ruin your life.
