On Taking Calculated Risks

What Dr. Maxwell Maltz said above and below is something I can totally relate to. Many times in my life I’ve taken actions (not without risks!) and there had been moments I got them right but many times wrong too. In the beginning when I was younger, I often felt guilty, terrible, and miserable, but as I grow older I realize those experiences actually add to my “Experience Bank.” Although it was only in my late twenties I began to see the point, I was already a risk-taker right when I was young.

Once in a while the feeling of regret for the mistakes I made still creeps in, but now I know better to acknowledge it and then just nip it in the bud! Onward but with good reasoning, due diligence, and calculated risk.
