Is this what happens when risk isn’t a muscle?

For many, the first step is predictable. Get a degree, find a job, settle down. That’s the script. That’s what safety looks like. Not many question it, because there’s no reason to. It works. Until it doesn’t.

Eventually, something breaks the routine. A job loss. A toxic work culture. A creeping sense of dissatisfaction. That’s when the cracks begin to show. But by then, it’s already mid-game and the rules are unclear.

There’s talk everywhere about building something, taking risks, creating paths. But there’s no foundation to stand on. No real-world exposure to decision making, money management, or failure.

People can spot what’s missing in the market. They have ideas. They see the gaps. But they don’t know how to handle money properly. Don’t know how to make decisions when there’s no playbook or how to absorb a loss and move forward. Or how to navigate chaos without spiraling. These system produced people who can follow instructions, not ones who can handle uncertainty or failures.

Before even the gap is identified within self or for building, life fumbles first. And that’s the real shock.

For women, it’s another layer deeper. Conditioned to outsource safety. Few question it. Fewer break it. Even fewer are equipped to build their own stability. They’re rarely visible.

Should we label it as lack of intelligence? lack of training? or courage? or just lack of exposure? Not sure tho!

Now, the demand is different. Today’s world increasingly rewards people who can write their own scripts. And those who were never allowed to try are left fumbling with theory while others play from experience. Some adapt. Slowly. Painfully. Others stay stuck in analysis, waiting for clarity that never comes.

Not lost. But not fully ready either.

Cheers
