The Risk of Comfortable Inaction

The Risk of Comfortable Inaction

“As we face the coming challenge, we too shall wait upon

the lord . . . . to give the individual the opportunity to

realize his own highest possibilities . . . . But they are

far less than long – range risks and

cost of comfortable inaction.”

John F. Kennedy 1917 – 1963, 35^th President

of the United States

As I see it . . . . . . .

The risk of comfortable inaction

The cost of inaction comes with a high cost . . . . that exceeds the cost of an occasional mistake.

The cost of inaction is paid for in installment over a life time . . . . That cost is created by the lack of forward progress . . . . and the lack of achievement.

A person with a proactive plan that takes a calculated risk has a strategic advantage over the person who takes no action. The person that takes a calculated risk . . . .  risks a setback . . . . They also create the forward momentum and the opportunity to succeed.

Inaction freezes a person in place . . . . and the risk of long term failure increased as a result of their failure to act.

There are no sure things in life . . . . Success favors the person that person is proactive and takes action.

The risk of comfortable inaction . . . . comes with a high cost . . . . of being left behind without ever realizing your full potential.
