Personally this is a subject I hate, but was asked to address. Okay, here goes...
Risks are something everyone takes, without them how would we gain new perspectives on anything in life? For some taking risks is a fear, they would rather stick to the same routine over and over than decide to try and throw something new into their lives. Taking a risk can be anything from listening to a new genre of music, or a new food, to things like deciding to move out, or switching jobs. You never know how things will turn out.
Why is this so important? If you didn't take a chance how would you gain insight to new things? How would you become more than what you were yesterday? With every chance taken there are consequences both good and bad. The bigger the risk the bigger the consequence, either way you won't know the outcome until you do decide to take that risk.
Believing in yourself is the key to making your consequences good. If you don't have faith in yourself then you might as well not take the risk at all, being as you have in a way already admitted defeat. A girl I once knew taught me that we are only as strong as the faith we have in ourselves. If all faith is lost then so are we.
Taking chances can lead to so many new things, and open all sorts of doors for you in your life, but it can also shut them. If you take a chance and the end result is bad then don't give up. Instead let your mistake guide you in future choices. Let it fuel you in your next decision. Things won't always turn out exactly as you like them, but who knows? Things could always
end up better than you believed they would.
You can't sit around your entire life asking yourself what it would be like if you had done this or that. If you bypass a chance and you don't take it, then its no ones fault but your own and nothing can be done about it. So why obsess over what could of been when you always have what could be now.
One of the biggest chances you'll take is with your heart. You never know how things will end up in a relationship. Trusting someone with your heart is one of the hardest choices you'll have to make. Not knowing whether or not you can trust that person completely is scary, but if you don't try then you'll never know the outcome.
What's the worst that could happen?
