The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

[adelfjohanason]

Finance is a term used to describe money and the management of money. It is the lifeblood of any business in the sense that it is needed for establishment, continuity and expansion of a business. Without adequate sourcing and proper management of finance, a business may undergo colossal liquidation.
Financial risk comes into play during decision making and management of opportunity costs attached to every decision we make.
Risk simply means relative uncertainty or the state at which the outcome of an event may deviate from what is expected. Risk is different from uncertainty because it has some level of predictability as opposed to uncertainty. Too many a time, businessmen neglect opportunities and chances for expansion just because of fear of risk. The fact that some things have risk does not mean they are unachievable. It only means that we need extra courage and hard work to achieve them. Beside every decision we take lies a risk itself.

Fear - Why Risk Taking is Your Best Friend

Life is a river. It is omnipresent. It is powerful. It is constantly moving, creating, and renewing itself, everywhere, all the time. It is undeniable. It is immensely beautiful, abundant, and sure to present you with many unexpected joys that find their way into the depths of your being if you let them.
Like a river, its natural flow is into the unknown, but many of us seem to choose to fight that. We stick with what is comfortable and safe and familiar. As a result, we hold on to the rocks and logs that stop us from going down stream into the darkness in order to stick to the scenery we decide we like on the journey. Meanwhile, the water is rushing past us, trying to bring us with it, trying to get us to be part of it, and we hold on for dear life, exhausting ourselves with our determination NOT to let go. In this stuck state we are blinded by our fear, and we fail to experience the River's complete and utter support of us - because we ARE the River. We are part of it. It can't NOT support us.
Throughout life, many of us have experienced - a number of times - being faced with a tough decision that is riddled in unknowns. No matter how hard we try to figure out what the right answer is, we come up empty, because no amount of rational thinking can tell us what the right thing to do is. We have to dig deeper than our minds can carry us. We have to follow our hearts.
Well what the hell does that mean?
Frequently our head gets in the way of our heart by its incessant noise, questioning and over analyzing. While our brain continues to try and figure out what the "right" answer is, our heart is screaming it at us. The brain then hears this and says, "How do YOU know? You have no information whatsoever to base that on. You don't know what you are talking about. How could you possibly know that THAT is what we have to do? Besides, what if we fail? What if we are embarrassed? What if we end up unhappy for the rest of our lives? What if we SUFFER? (gasp)"
