1. Are You Missing Opportunities?

2. There was this big, outdoor mall
where I used to live.

3. Me and my girlfriend would go there
quite a bit, and they had this big
climbing wall.

4. Vertical, with lots of fake rocks to grab
on to.

5. They had you in a big harness, and a
rope that looped up through the top,
and back down to a guy on the
bottom.

6. As you climbed up, he'd pull in the
rope.

7. If you've never been climbing, it's a
good feeling to feel that the rope is
tight.

8. It is a constant reminder that if you
slip, you won't slip very fall, since
somebody's got your back.

9. But sometimes, that rope can get in
the way. In the world of rock climbing,
there's two basic signals, both
communicated through tugs on the
rope.

10. One tug means "slack."

11. Meaning you don't want the rope too
tight, as it constricts your movement.

12. Two tugs means "up rope."

13. Meaning you want the rope to be
tighter, as you are coming up to a
difficult part.

14. But on this mall wall, with most of the
people never having climbed before,
they almost ALWAYS want the rope to
be tight.

15. This keeps them safe, but it restricts
their movement.

16. Life has always been a balance
between safety and risk.

17. Ever since the dawn of time, people
have had to decide which path to
choose, pretty much with every
choice.

18. In some societies that still live a very
primitive lifestyle, the hunters go after
big game, rather than small game.

19. At first, the scientists studying them
didn't understand why. If they went
after smaller game, it would be safer,
and more successful. They would
average more meat per hunting trip.

20. Then they saw what happened when
they brought home the big kill.

21. Instant hero. Guys worshipped them,
women loved them.

22. It seems when there's a big potential
reward, people are much more likely
to take risks.

23. However, if you're always playing it too
safe, you'll never sense there are a LOT
more rewards out there, just waiting.

24. What's more, most "risks" aren't really
risks at all, since the downsides only
involved social safety, which is ALWAYS
in flux.

25. Which means not only are most
people NOT SEEING the rewards that
are there, they ARE SEEING risks which
aren't there.

26. If you flip things around, you'll see a
lot more rewards, and a lot less risks.

27. Get rid of some of those emotional
blind spots, and you'll see.
