In Life There are those who prioritize security and stability, opting to avoid risks in order to maintain a sustainable lifestyle, while others thrive on embracing risks as an essential component of their life. In my perspective basically, there are 2 kinds of people - the people who avoid risks to live a sustainable life and people who can't live without risk to have a sustainable life.
I heard an interesting study from Myles Munroe. He talked about a study from the National Geographic Channel that showed how purpose and energy are linked. Munroe said it's like how birds get energy from flying(purpose) and fish get energy from swimming (purpose). He believes that having a real purpose in life doesn't tire you out—it actually gives you more life and energy. Meaning if you work on your true purpose you gain energy and life.
During another spontaneous trip, this time to Ooty with my cousin, I encountered a solo cyclist from Bihar (2500km). Engaging in conversation with him left a lasting impression. It wasn't just the words we exchanged; it was the essence of his being that resonated with me. He embodied the very essence of the two perspectives I previously discussed. Even though some people said his adventures were risky and unsafe, he didn't let that stop him. For him, the worries and dangers didn't matter much compared to how happy he felt on his journey. I really admired how brave and determined he was. It was clear that he was one of those who couldn't imagine living without taking risks. He loved the thrill of not knowing what's next. His determination to follow his passion reminded me of what Myles Munroe said – that some people have this amazing gift, a purpose that fills them with energy instead of making them tired. It was really moving to see someone so alive with purpose and drive.
If one asks how was the conversation with him? I can only say I felt his language. All I could do was wish him good luck and express how much he brightened my day.
I believe one of the mistakes we make as a society is constantly telling ourselves and our youth to avoid taking risks. We often overlook the fact that some individuals are born with a natural inclination towards risk-taking—it's neither a curse nor a gift, but simply a part of who they are. Many of our ancestors were conquerors, explorers, and adventurers, so no wonder we inherit traits like high curiosity and strong determination. We shouldn't stifle these traits; instead, we should embrace and nurture them, recognizing that taking risks can lead to a more fulfilling and sustainable life for many individuals.
