Risk Management

There is no growth without risk.
The question of success or failure depends upon whether or not one is wise, or reckless.

A risk unwisely taken can demolish the edifice of one’s life work. A necessary risk not taken can undermine and destroy it in a different way. The energy becomes dark, and turns upon itself.

All potential that is not actualized becomes an impediment. The aborted form must be liquefied into raw energy to serve a new integration, which must be brought forth into being, and made to prevail.

Life is a series of births and deaths. Every risk taken for growth is a death and a rebirth. Every necessary risk not taken is a prolonged death. The wise one knows the self, and knows what is and is not necessary. The wise one knows how to lay his will into things.

Those who will become Great Transformers of the human experiment do not risk themselves mindlessly on reckless gambles, for such is suicide. Instead, they engage in a series of calculated risks wisely considered, and strengthen and extend the edifice of their life’s work thereby.

Nothing stands still. All is in motion.

“Knowing” is not static, but dynamic.

Becoming must reveal Being – which is not a given, but is forged by will.

The management of risk depends upon the perpetual quest for self-knowledge, and is governed by the courage and wisdom that arises from it.
