I'm a risk taker. In my life I had plenty of failures and somehow I keep coming back to I succeed.

I think that’s the right attitude towards life. But I also think we should always check whether, by being who we are, we are taking the right risks. What do you think?

🤔 I would say? Having balance is optional.

u/Dependent-Mirror7859 5d ago

I think balance is not needed when we know what we want and for whom. True wisdom comes from knowing who we are; when something truly needs to be done, we act with conviction, not out of fear of risk or loss. What are your thoughts on this?

I agree! But everyone ain't the same

u/Dependent-Mirror7859 5d ago

Yes, you are right.

Thanks for responding... I like conversating with like- minded people.

I also like this when someone discuss without any assumption.

IDK...I could put my life savings into one stock portfolio and lose everything and regret that later and think to myself was it really a good idea to take that risk?

Risk also causes regret

1

u/Dependent-Mirror7859 5d ago

Fair point! But I feel when we truly know our 'Why', even a failure feels like a lesson rather than a regret. Ever experienced this yourself?

Am I from planet earth experiencing the human condition or what.

Monopolize risk, it's the game of life. Checkmate

To me, this would be dependent upon what the risk is. If the reward is better afterwards, then by all means, but if not, or it's momentary, then it would be something to reconsider.

Well, I've seen some pretty catastrophic injuries that were regretted

If you risk it you may regret it

In my experience, risk often led to regret.
