On motivation

Whilst folding the laundry, I was watching this episode from MarieTV on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TIABCb37LN8 where I took the screenshot above. The video is a reminder that even though there are many things in life that we cannot control, we CAN control how we choose to react to circumstances. Our years of existence is finite and that should motivate us to live worthwhile lives. I can say that I have taken risks--the biggest (jumping off a cliff kind) would be giving up everything for something absolutely uncertain but with a potentially high ROI. I've posted about the "sunk cost fallacy" in the past whereby an uncomfortable shift in perspective can help us re-evaluate whether we are maximizing our potential.  I suppose our varied personalities influence the kind of risk-taking behavior that we manifest--much like financial investments: low risk, medium risk, or high risk. There is no right approach--whichever is closer to our personal utopia.
