Most people are focused on absorbing the positive, but in practicality, it’s important to also avoid the negative. Particularly the most important negative to avoid is to avoid danger.

The point of avoiding danger is about keeping yourself from all kinds of trouble. With this, you can have a more fulfilled life with enough time and energy to focus on the good things in life. Plus you can keep your friends and relatives at ease since they are sure that you will do your best to keep yourself safe and in good spirit.

Before we discuss about avoiding danger, let’s also understand the meaning of the word prudent.

Prudent – careful and avoiding risks: as per dictionary.cambridge.org

Going by this, you can call a prudent person a wise person, though I’d like to point that such a person can focus on being careful and so avoids risks.

Here are some practical tips about avoiding danger for you:

• Love yourself enough to not harm yourself. Avoid all negative thinking that can ruin your mindset. Have a good view of yourself. Because having too much of self-pity and self-doubt can weaken you emotionally. Don’t follow that road of self-harm that many have chosen who then leave behind grieving friends and relatives.
• Take care of your body. Because it’s the only one you have. Eat fresh avoid unhealthy food and in the right proportions. Don’t starve yourself due to peer pressure. Don’t overeat to please people at parties. And by this, you will save yourself from the doctor’s bills.
• Totally avoid any get-rich-quick schemes whether they are shared on social media or by word of mouth. There any many people who have lost their hard-earned money due to elaborate scams by getting enticed for financial schemes that are too good to be true. Don’t be a victim, be smart!
• Always take observe traffic rules when riding your vehicles. Be vigilant enough to know the difference between reaching your destination safely on time and just overspeeding because everyone else is doing it. There are people who die due to rash accidents, don’t be one of them.
• Enhance your intellect. Some people are good enough to love themselves, take care of their bodies, avoid undue risks in driving and manage their finances well. But they neglect their intellect and so are not ready for the sudden challenges of life as and when they occur. Such as stock market crashes, being laid off from the job, etc. Be smart enough to read books and articles that broaden your horizons. Hear good talks by mentors and achievers. You never know what knowledge can come useful for yourself.
• Be prudent for yourself and be prudent for others and see your life change for the better. You don’t need to try too hard for this; you just need to be vigilant at all times. In time this will become a habit and become effortless.

With this, I conclude by wishing you a prudent life, which is a reward in itself for those who follow it.
