Taking Risks

I believe we all gotta pay price for everything we gain. Important thing is, what price you can pay, and what things you would never want to give up. The ultimate price we can pay in our life is time. We spend time and effort to gain something. Although, we occasionally face situations where our own time and effort is not good enough to pay the whole price. In that kinda situations, we might have to give up our belongings or relationships. Though, I personally prefer to take the risk without involving others, so if there is something I can not achieve with my sole sacrifice, then I would simply give up and not bother. At least, whenever I can...

As I get older, I take calculated risks more than just throwing it all to the wind and hoping that it'll work out. I find that it generally works out much better if I really think through decisions before gambling with my life or my connections to the important people in my life.

I am glad you are doing a little better. I do believe in taking risks, but if it is going to cost a friendship of an old friend, I would really have to consider and make a decision of whether it is worth it or not. Friends are hard to come by. At least the ones that will be there no matter what. I have very few that I can really count on, since we had our son. They just disappeared. The few that I do still have, have been with us through thick and thin, and I would not want to do anything that would hurt them or to ruin our friendship.

Nice of you to flutter by, but as always, your questions elude me. Glad you're happy.

I took a risk back in october and it costed a few friendships. To me they werent much of a friend if they didn't support my decision of what I did with my life. It wasn't theirs it was mine and just because they didn't agrree with it they no longer talk to me. But life goes on and I am very happy with the decsion I made and I am still happy about it and bopfully will be for the rest of my life.

Risks are dangerous but without them you wouldn't be so safe, you would be to cautious about things and panicks to much. You should take risks once in a while, that's what I believe

I think some time it is not bad to take risk, but it all depends on the situation also. Personally I don't prefer to take risks over relations, if there is no other way then it is totally different. As per money or other things go I am willing to take risks depending on the situation. What ever it is I really hope that things get better for you in your life.

I take risks. Im not playing it safe at all at the moment. Im not standing around letting my ex run all over me with his claims for 50% of my asetts. I dodnt accept his false DV resrtraining oreder. I went to Court by myself the first time, and the second a lawyer came with me. We won. In less than a month I go to Court again. Later still, I will be in a criminal trial for assault charges I laid against my ex. It ios possible that I will sue him for defamation. So although I dont know exactly what is happening in your life, I think you have to stand your ground on what you think is right. I have lost the friendship of all my inlaws because I spoke up. It is very sad, but I couldnt live a lie. Good luck to you.

I can see you are a confident and optimistic person. There two features are what we need in dealing with life' s ups and downs, especially when facing risks. I believe all the people are feared by the thought of taking adventures to do something. But we just need to take a right attitude and see risks as something inevitable in our life. Risks are not always things that result in bad results or lead people to negative situation. They can be things that bring us luck and opportunity. So we should learn to take risks in a reasonable way to enjoy our life better.

What like running off with my best friend's husband? But seriously, many things are worth taking a risk for, some are not. If you listen to your heart and your head both, you'll usually be steered in the right direction...

I have taken alot of risks in my life. some were good & some not so good. I really don't want to take any risks on anybody anymore. Good friends are hard to come by. If u have doubts u probably shouldn't take that risk. Just my opinion of course. Good luck.

I suppose sometimes there is a need to go out on a limb, take a chance and have faith. In regards to losing an old friendship, it does depend on the circumstances I guess. I would imagine that a good friend would respect whatever decisions I make and support me not matter what. A lot of the time the things that are really worth doing involve great risk. I admit that I am not a great risk taker but there have been times when I knew it was what I had to do...

I think that if your friend were really your friend, they would support you in your risks. Provided that they are not to dangerous for their taste. I think that life has a funny way of jumping in and changing things on it's own sometimes. This can be devastating at the moment but later on..well..it wasn't such a bad thing. I don't think there is anything wrong with a healthy risk.

take the risk in a good aspect. like the risk of not hurt someone else there are risk that can change life and came a better in life like some say risk have its price, the when you take a risk make sure that the price is right every risk have it price/consequence make sure that if take that risk you known what will became the price after.

I am probably over-cautious when it comes to taking risks, in that I am a RISK-avoider! I know that crossing the street every day is a risk as is turning on the switch etc, but any risks that are in my direct control like friendship I avoid, mainly because of my past. I risk getting rejected so I avoid making friends and certainly intend to stay single for the rest of my life. You'd think rejection would get easier wouldn't you? But it doesn't and it's a big phobia of mine so that one particular nasty risk in life I just avoid like the plague. I am defensive, hostile and a loner that way I avoid getting hurt, abused, used and treated like sc*m which people have done to me, even my closest friends. So I am better off alone, I am much happier alone, and I certainly wouldn't entertain a relationship of any sort, but that's just me. Risk taker? Absolutely NOT, but unfortunately some risks you can't avoid like life itself. If it costs a friendship then you really have to ask yourself was that friend really a true friend in the first place?

Ok I will try again as it did not post I do take risks and always have, I lost a Friend who I had been friends with for 22 Years, when I moved from the North to the South she thought I was stupid moving away but I did not care for once what anyone thought and did what I wanted to do Hugs

Oh, friend, I do not know that I would want to lose the friendship of an old friend. I only have two that are that close. They would not make me choose between them and happiness. I would not ever do anything deliberately to offend them. Risk is good at times. It sends the adrenaline pumping.I am glad you can smile more this week. I am so curious about this proposition now, that I would hope that you will let us know when this gets resolved. Hugs to you as always.
