A Riskier Life is a Better Life #philosophy #stoicism

What if by taking the ‘safe’ option in life, you were actually taking the worse path in life?

Riskier is more fun

Living a riskier life is more fun, challenging, and interesting. Also we are so blessed to live in a world where we don’t face any practical threats. We won’t die via starvation, from the cold, or lack of water. Which means:

Take all personal and business risks in your life, because you have nothing to lose.

This is a very stoic notion —

Life is all upside, no downside.


Take more epic risks

Once you realize that you got nothing to lose– why not take more epic risks in life?

You got nothing to lose; everything to gain!
