If you ever had the chance to make the biggest move and difference in your life, would you do it? I am talking about a different country, a different life and hopefully better than what you have now. Just to be with someone you really love? Is it worth the risk? I personally think, that whenever life gives you a second chance, grab it with both hands. If you don't, you will never know what you have really missed, nor will you ever get that chance again. TATA.

Many people are afraid of changes ,they want to keep the life sstyle of their own and never think to change.Although sometimes,the environment around has changed ,they also don't want to change.Because they have formed a habit of their life and they are afraid of losing what they have,so when many chances come ,they will miss .This kind of people want to live a peaceful life ,so they don't like changes.

You are right my B... and I believe that chance knocks at your door only once... in everyhting we do it's natural to feel the risk but if you are determined enough to see what's in there... you will do it!

If time comes Im no longer happy with what has life been offering me,then I change direction.I have to risks. I had already taken risks before.Im happy though.
Its more of knowing really oneself, I might be changing everything around me, my work, my surroundings, my life and my love just for the change sake/ only to find out these wouldnt make me happy and contented in the end.
What matters most is that you know how to accept the consequences of your actions, even though you opted for the other, And move on with life.

Hey saphrina! I have never had that opportunity before and if
I did I know that I would have been too afraid to take it! I
am not really good when it comes to changes and never have been!
I moved around alot when I was a kid! We didn't move far, only
in a 10 minute radius, but it still meant moving from one apartment
or house to another, parents separating, moving in with grandparents
and made me feel very insecure! So, when I finally got my own apartment
which again was in a 10 minute radius I swore to make this my home!
I didn't know that I would end up living here for 30 years or I wouldn't
have rented! But, as it turned out I have stayed in my apartment for
30 years, renting, throwing money out the window when I could have
bought a house by now! But, it is "home" and that's what's most
important!

Hello sweetie. I actually agree on the home part. But, sometimes we need a major change to survive in everything we want to do. It can only be for the best as it all depends on one self to make a success of it. Thanx for dropping by. I appreciate it. TATA.

Hi saphrina, if it is with people I love, and if they find the climate and everything comfortable, and are agreeable to move along with me, I would. :)

Hi,saphrina.I think I would take a risk and start a new life.Actually,even without someone I really love,I still would like to go to a new country and live a diffrent life.As to me,I don't like to stay in one place.So if there is a chance to go abroad,I would never miss it.

I would surely take the opportunity of course. I already made a big move in my life to marry my husband now, and I am currently doing things to make bigger changes, that is to leave my country and live with him, far from my home country, families and the routine life. But definitely no regrets. Whatever happens, I know that we'll get through life together.
happy mylotting!

looking back there have been opportunities that i have passed up like working and settling in a different country, being with a different person. now i wonder what if? i guess i will never find out. as we go through life there will come forks in the road and we have to make decisions as to which path to follow. i think it's in man's nature to fear the unknown and oftentimes we stick to what is familiar and safe. at this stage in my life sometimes i wish i had been less cautious, less anxious, more willing to take a leap of faith. oh well . . .
