You can start by trying new hobbies. For example, if you always wanted to paint but were afraid of not being good at it, just start. That's taking a risk, and if you do, you'll have a story about your painting journey.
One way to apply 'no risk no story' daily is in your travel choices. Instead of always going to the same familiar places, take a risk and visit a new destination. You might face language barriers or getting lost, but these experiences will become part of a great story. Another aspect is in your personal growth. Try learning a new skill that you think is difficult, like playing a musical instrument. The process of struggling and hopefully succeeding will be a story full of lessons and experiences.
In relationships, be open to meeting new people. This is a risk as you don't know how it will turn out. But it can lead to great stories, like how you met your best friend or a significant other. Also, in your career, don't be afraid to take on projects that seem challenging. It might be a risk, but you'll gain experience and have a story to tell about how you overcame difficulties.
One can start by being true to their own experiences and not getting influenced too much by what others say or the general stories around. For example, if there is a story that says a certain career is the only successful one, but you have a passion for something else, follow your passion.
One way is to always look at failures as learning opportunities. For example, if you cook a meal and it turns out badly, instead of giving up, think 'this is not the end of my cooking story'. You can try new recipes, learn new techniques, and get better at cooking.
One can start by taking small risks. For example, speaking up in a meeting when you usually don't. This shows guts. If it leads to a positive outcome like getting a new project, that's success and it becomes a story.
One way is in fitness. Just think 'i can run this extra mile, i will' and then do it, end of story. It helps you push your limits.
In daily life, you can apply this concept by facing your problems head - on. Every challenge is a part of your story. If you run away from them, you're walking out on your own story. Instead, you should embrace difficulties and learn from them to make your story more meaningful.
One can be more open - minded. Just like not being a 'rectangle' which might symbolize rigidity, we should be flexible in our thoughts and actions. Avoid being like the predictable characters in pulp fiction. For example, try new things instead of following the same routine every day.
In social activities, like planning a small party. You have 48 hours to send out invitations, buy the necessary items, and set up. Once the 48 hours pass, the party happens as is. This way, it forces you to be efficient and not keep dragging the preparation process. It also gives a sense of urgency and helps in making quick decisions. For example, if you can't find a particular decoration item within the 48 hours, you just go without it. This concept can really help in streamlining various aspects of daily life.
One way is to be more aware of the choices we make. In a game, our choices determine the outcome. Similarly, in life, the choices we make contribute to our life story. So, make choices that will add positive chapters to your story. Also, don't be afraid of 'losing' in small things because in a game, we often learn from our losses and come back stronger. For instance, if you don't get a promotion you wanted, see it as a chance to improve and aim for a better outcome next time, just like you would in a game if you failed a level.
One can start by being more empathetic. For instance, helping a neighbor in need, like if they are sick or having trouble with something. This small act of kindness could be the start of your 'saving a life' in a sense, and it adds to your own story of being a good person.
We can apply it by always seeking the truth. For example, when we hear a rumor, we look for facts to confirm or deny it.
