  • I regret not taking a risk.

    Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

    I was raised to feel guilty about being greedy, wasteful or self-indulgent and I have never taken a risk all of the way.

    I may have tiptoed here and there at taking a risk but I have never went full throttle.

    I am a constant observer, too smart and too lazy to take a risk.

    And I regret it.

    Because not taking a risk, you end up like me. Always wondering if what life would be like if you had taken that risk.

    A risk I regret not taking is not feeling guilty about not taking is not playing Running Back and getting the ball in a Highschool football game.

    I thought that I would fumble the ball or screw up the play, I just should have taken the ball.

    I friend of mine always used to tell me to “shit or get off the pot” I regret all of those times I should have shot instead of getting off of the pot.
