One risk is not everything

By Freddie Armando Romero Paredes. Taking a risk is a great responsibility. When you take a risk you take charge of what may happen. And when you take a risk you realize that your life may be at risk. So much so that it is possible that you will lose or ruin it in a matter of moments. That risk can mark a before and after in your existence. Even more, it can give you to understand that from now on nothing will be the same. It is that from the moment you broke the limit you generated another normality. What remains is to adapt. Breaking barriers when taking risks puts you in a different place than others, either because your conscience or your way of seeing life is governed in another way. Making the breaking point with a risk can make you transcend and generate comments and other currents of opinion. Even with your risk you can jump to the front pages and be the news of the moment of the news. But, you must realize that the media coverage is a flower of a day. To stay and last in the collective memory you have to innovate your risk and bring out new performances in the next few opportunities and that takes time. If you want to get media attention again, you will have to take new risks, put your life in danger again and be aware that everything can happen as everything will never be the same as before. A risk is not taken by anyone. The person who takes a risk must be prepared both physically and psychologically. And that is constant preparation and having a lot of discipline. However, you must bear in mind that risk is not everything in life. Not because you jump off the bridge, you too are going to jump. Before taking a risk, evaluate what you have and weigh in the balance the price of endangering your life with the price of taking advantage of your life for more useful and productive things with the company of those you love the most. It may be that by losing your life with a foolish risk, you lose the opportunity to continue living to bear witness to God, to continue loving your loved ones and to continue contributing to a just, equitable and growing society.
