Unexpected Lessons from the Pandemic: Living is Risky

Calculated Risk Notebook

“Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.”

– Denis Waitley

We try to make it safer, you make it more dangerous.

As the graphic shows, we all fall somewhere in one of the four quadrants. Some of us are closer to the center, some are farther out to the ends. It is my job to help everyone make a risk assessment and then decide what is right for them with regards to their chosen treatment path. We are trying always, together, to move people to the upper right quadrant, where they can feel certain and safe in their decision.

So these are just some of the lessons I have learned through the time of the pandemic. I’m hopeful that gaining this knowledge and utilizing it daily, it will have a beneficial effect on everyone that I help through their physical troubles.

So, as we are all experiencing a time in history that is unprecedented, take a moment to sit back and think about what you have learned during our shut-down. Hopefully, we have all learned a little more about ourselves, and we can make the world a better place.
