It doesn't matter if someone has done something already—if you have not done it, then you are pioneering your life. Charting unknown terrain, breaking through growth plateaus and holding patterns. Progressing instead of digressing. ## Self-Pioneering To self-pioneer means to lead yourself along a path towards actualizing/manifesting a vision, dream or intuitive direction. ## Risk Spectrum There are different types of risks, and depending on your composition of thoughts you will have different appetites for risks in different areas of life: - Relationship risk - Financial risk - Ego-risk - Karmic risk - Health-risk **Conservative/measured approaches** — like slow playing a good hand at poker. Allowing opportunities to come through patience, building a warchest of resources to balance risk with security. Where you fall on the spectrum of risk and measure always changes through life and circumstance. You may feel very impulsive with one opportunity, and then patient and plan-oriented the next. ## The Practice The important thing is to continue to be aware of your risk appetite and steering your ship accordingly with intention and mindfulness. Also keep things in balance: - If you are impulsive all the time, try delaying gratification - If you fall to strengthen weak spots while always doubling down on strengths Our strengths are our creative signatures while weaknesses are creative limitations which also help the process of birthing creative ideas. --- ## Related - [[Creative Clarity|Creative Clarity]] - [[Creative Value Rubric|Creative Value Rubric]]
