Picking Blackberries by Darren:

Some people enjoy picking blackberries. They’re high in antioxidants and some love their flavor.
But there’s a risk involved. Blackberry bushes have sharp thorns that can cause painful cuts to the picker.
However, the risk is worth it to those who love them.
Then there are those who enjoy some berries who can’t bring themselves to risk the pain of the thorns.

Anything worth doing has pain attached to it.
The pain of discipline, hard work, sacrifice, criticism and risk-taking.
Alas, too many people prefer to take the comfortable path, the easy option, the safe way.
And they live with the regret of never achieving what they could (and should) if only they would risk a few abrasions.

Successful people take calculated risks to achieve their goals:

• Process risk: A loss in revenue due to inefficient or ineffective processes.
• Negative risks: Events that can lead to a project’s quality deteriorating, requiring additional resources or time.
• Risk sharing: A practice where the financial impact of potential losses is distributed among various parties.
• Risk goals: Goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
• Successful people: Take calculated risks, but not thoughtless risks.

Are you willing to do what it takes to pick the blackberries in your life?

Progress means taking risks.
