The more you can tolerate risk, the greater is your potential reward.
You want to make the million? You’ve got to put more on the line.
You want to go faster, get stronger, and jump higher? You’ve got to push harder and risk injury.
The risk can derail you in the end, but at least you were on track to doing something big.
Be comfortable with people around not understanding the risk you take and being scared of what you venture to do. Then be gracious enough to share the rewards if the risk pays off. Also, be humble if the risks don’t pay off. And try again.
