Nurturing Optimism for Taking Risks
Individual comfort levels with uncertainty and risk-taking vary. Rather than changing people's overall relationship with uncertainty, the focus should be on assisting individuals through specific changes, providing support and guidance. Optimism plays a crucial role in driving action, as it involves believing in the likelihood of a positive outcome. Optimism leads to taking more risks, as one's expectation influences their actions, thereby affecting outcomes. Enhancing optimism can be achieved through instilling a sense of control, as people are more optimistic about circumstances they believe they can influence.
