Taking risks is something that is part of our lives, no matter how much we try to do everything safely, or to try to minimize losses, there is always something that can happen. I am often labeled as a coward, I really don't like taking risks, after all I value my life and my family. So, anything that is too risky, I avoid jumping out of a plane? Going down a mountain on a bike? No, thanks, the adrenaline must be insane, but I don't think I have the courage to do these kinds of things.
But at some point we have to take some risk, if we want to grow or improve something in our lives, taking risks is part of that, of growth. I can say that I haven't made any big moves in the last few months, but I started taking a few more risks in some things. Here at Hive and in the crypto world, I started taking more risks in Splinterlands, renting a lot of SPS and a lot of cards to try to be more competitive, so I stopped playing it safe to really risk something new, collect more tokens, reach higher rankings, among those things. I decided to take a risk, investing a little more to try to get something more.
Outside of Hive, although I continued to look for airdrops, I had stopped doing that for a while, but I decided to pursue more opportunities, so with a lot of research and observing on X what content creators there do and focus on, I tried to find more airdrops to try to get some resources. I say this is a risk because, in the crypto world, we know that there are scams and people with bad intentions, so you can never be too careful. It's as if I were venturing into a minefield, where at any moment an airdrop could be just a scam, so you can never be too careful.
I think that's what taking risks is, it's about leaving your comfort zone and trying to do something different to get different results, to experience unique and unusual moments. Another good example is that last month I went with my wife and a couple of friends to a concert that was in my city. It may seem like something very simple, but for me it is something out of the ordinary, because I don't usually go to these places. I don't like driving to places where there are a lot of people, especially at night, but I did it and it was a lot of fun! For me, it is a risk because of traffic accidents or muggings, all of that scares me.
That's why I don't have a specific or special risky action, I think that every day we do something that makes us take a little more risk. At X, for example, I have been participating much more in some other projects or profiles that promote web3, airdrops as I said, actions, I have been appearing much more there and even though I am afraid and worried about saying something wrong or stupid, I am trying to gain more and more audience and movement for my X. This can help me with onboards or things like that in the future.
Anyway, taking risks is every day, all the time, those who seek improvements always have to take risks. Seeking new connections, new people, a new job, a new place, everything that takes you out of your routine and bubble is a risk, because it is unknown, it is new, so it scares you and makes you think a lot, but that's it, taking risks is necessary!
