SURVIVAL MINDSET VERSUS RISKY MINDSET

By Matata Mercy

How are you living your life? Are you merely just surviving  and living for a day or you actively chasing and also living the life of your dreams?

8 Common traits of the worlds most successful people - it takes 8 ...

If you are living with the survival mindset, you will normally be having a thought that resonates about everything around you falling apart and trying to also reduce the amount of money that you do spend on things that you would normally have spent on lavishly.

For example if you have been going out and buying drinks for yourself and your friends alot and also partying together in bars and clubs, you will stop going out regularly or even completely stop taking your friends out.

The money that you have been spending on the outing will now be used to buy foodstuffs for you at home.

 If you have been driving to work everyday, you will most likely end up parking your car at home so that you can save the amount of money that you have been using on fuel.You will now instead walk to work.

That is the survival mindset and most people are living this kind of life during this Corona virus pandemic that has swept all over the world.

The survival mindset displays a state of fear that we are in and it will always make sure that  we do use the resources that we have effectively because of the thought that things are not good and we are not sure of what the future will actually bring before us.

This kind of mindset is good because it helps prepare the humans to face the challenges that come and hit us unknowingly hard like the present situation of the Corona virus pandemic.

 It keeps us in check so that we can keep existing in the toughest conditions that we do find ourselves in. This mindset is what i could call the comfort mindset.

Another kind of mindset that thinks differently is called the risky mindset.This kind of mindset loves taking risks and it will always keep moving towards the things that are highly rewarding but also at the same time could end up in very  big losses.

A person with a risky mindset will  start a business in hard times this one. When everyone else is holding back and downsizing, he will instead move in confidently and start a new business. He goes where most people are not willing to go.

 This kind of mindset can be seen within successful entrepreneurs out there, the people who are willing to do the things that others do not actually want to do.

 When no one is able to move in and change things, these people who have a well developed risky mindset will move in and help bring the change that is needed. 

While the survival mindset will keep you in your comfortzone, the risky mindset will help move you foward and could ultimately change your life and most importantly the lives of others around you.

 I would urge you to adopt the risky mindset and let go of the survival mindset since it will help you to contribute more in this world.

Be among the few who are willing to do the things that most people are not willing to do. I promise you that you will be glad that you did.
