Run The Risk Reap The Reward 1/7: Making Moves Monday: Are You Playing It Too Safe?

Dr. Derek Suite - The Suite Spot

The boldest move we can make isn't always a business decision or relationship leap—sometimes it's simply believing in yourself enough to try. When we reframe risk as not just about danger but also about courage, faith, and growth, we unlock our potential to achieve greater rewards.
Key Suite Spots:
• Our brains are wired to avoid uncertainty through the amygdala (fear center)
• Taking calculated risks activates the prefrontal cortex—your brain's CEO and decision maker
• Every bold step builds new neural pathways that train your brain to trust your momentum
• "Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest." (Ecclesiastes 11:4)
• Waiting for certainty is often the biggest risk of all
• Playing it safe can mean settling for the ordinary when you weren't born to settle
• Small risks worth taking could include booking that doctor's appointment, launching your business, or having tough conversations
• "You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step and trust what's in you"
• Time is the only wealth we've been given—don't throw it away waiting for perfect conditions
