Day 28: On Living in Offensive Mode

Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and

need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth): Make the

growth choice a dozen times a day.

—Abraham Maslow

 

27

If  you’re  reading  this  book,  you’re  most  likely  living  in  relative

abundance, whether you agree with that perception or not.

You  have  access  to  some  kind  of  an  electronical  device  for  reading,

which  means  you  have  some  disposable  income,  which  means  you  don’t

live  in  extreme  poverty.  You  also  most  likely  don’t  live  in  a  native  tribe

somewhere  in  the  jungle  or  in  a  small  village  in  the  warzone,  where

survival is a daily challenge.

Consequently,  you  don’t  have  to  live  in  defense.  The  negative

consequences of your acts, when compared to people who aren’t as lucky as

you, are in most cases negligible.

You can afford to venture out into the world without the risk that the

enemy tribe will kill you. You can risk launching a side business because

even if it fails, you’ll still have a secure job and perhaps even some savings.

You can go on a diet and temporarily restrict caloric intake — I assure you

that you won’t starve to death.

Analyze  the  decisions  you’ve  taken  during  the  past  week  and  ask

yourself whether they were motivated by the need for defense and safety or

by the prospect of progress and growth. Make sure that the great majority of

your decisions favors some smart risk-taking instead of letting the fear stop

you dead in your tracks.
