Consider first, the definition of risk from Dictionary.com:
Exposure to the chance of injury or loss; a hazard or dangerous chance such as: It’s not worth the risk.
- the hazard or chance of loss.
- the degree of probability of such loss.
In a dangerous situation or status; in jeopardy or under financial or legal obligation; held responsible such as: Are individual investors at risk for the debt part of the real estate venture? To take / run a risk, to expose oneself to the chance of injury or loss; put oneself in danger; hazard; venture.
Then become aware of what it means in your life. What risks are you comfortable with and which are you not? What is it that determines what you will accept as acceptable risk or not? Are your fears helping or hindering you in your life?
