Take That Risk in 2026

We have officially reached 2026 and are in that pivotal season where everyone starts trying to change their habits and patterns to live their lives differently.  Some have signed up for the gym whilst others have begun to learn a new language. Many of us are filling our time with new hobbies and activities. I believe that this is something amazing. A new start with a new sense of motivation. 

However, many engage in these new habits as a form of distraction, as a way to keep playing it safe. 

Many have entered another year avoiding that dream or goal that has been nagging them in the back of their minds. That message that creeps into their dreams or in the new people that they meet. 

Many are still spending their time focusing on what is comfortable and what is safe, whilst still feeling unbelievably unsatisfied with their realities. 

I believe that this new year or at least this first season calls for the taking of risks. Trying what we’ve always dreamed of doing.This page in itself is a huge act of risktaking for me. I spent months on end doing what I was good at, what people told me to do, what was acceptable. However, I felt so unfulfilled.

I know that I have been put here to support others to embrace themselves and their purposes.  I am taking a big risk in pursuing that goal and I want you to take them with me!

Don’t get me wrong. Risks can be very scary. However, the fear that arises from them rarely comes from something negative. Most of the time, we just fear risks because we know that they will transform our reality, our experiences and our environment. We will no longer be able to hide in comfort.

Risks are healthy and essential. As children, we took daily risks. Climbing new heights on the climbing frame or jungle gym, creating quite dangerous flips on the monkeybars and picking up random plants because they were new and exciting. 

We must encourage our inner children to embrace their creativity and risk appetites again. 

Life is truly for the living and I guess my message for this month and for this year is to be more risky. Step out of your comfort zone. Give what you’ve been dreaming about a try. If you keep thinking about it, it is certainly something worth exploring.
