Danger Exists In Life - No Need To Create Your Own

Danger exists - do you like a hint of that in your life?

A hazard or risk to get the old adrenalin flowing. A threat to get the grey matter in motion.

But it does not always work out that way does it?

If we feel in peril we may freeze. If we feel vulnerable then we will probably go into our shell.

If we feel insecure physically we may run away. If we feel insecure psychologically we may not realize we are on a slippery slope . . .

And how attentive are we

• do we always realize what we are getting into?
• do we understand the risks we may be taking?
• do we feel we can do anything and get away with it?
• do we not see the pitfalls of our actions?

And this may not just affect us

• if we are not clear we may put other people in jeopardy
• if we misread the risks we may increase the possibilities of serious repercussions occurring
• if we do not believe there is any problem we may drag others along into an uncertain future

So what can we do?

• we need to remain alert to the care and needs of others and ourselves
• we need to communicate any concerns we have and not keep them to ourselves
• we would do well to think ahead and foresee any difficulties that might be just around the corner
• we would do well to anticipate hurdles and obstacles before we are trying to avoid or overcome them

And our chances of success?

• can depend upon our experience in the field of activity we find ourselves in
• may depend on whether we are going it alone or with others
• may depend on the risks we are willing to take - and whether they are reasonable

And every day

• we need to be alert
• we need to understand that anything can happen at any time
• we need to be ready to act
• we need to take the stresses and strains of life in our stride

and we should avoid panic but also not feel we are invulnerable.

But

• we should remain calm
• we should be ourselves
• we should not become paranoid

as danger exists and we should be aware of that when we may be under par and hence more likely to fall prey to any difficulties.

After all, we should not seek out risk just for the sake of it
