Taking Risks

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

There is nothing certain in life other than death and taxes, which means that every single thing we do requires some measure of risk.

Living a fulfilled life requires us to throw ourselves of proverbial cliff daily and discover whether we will sink or soar.

When I met my husband I was going through some depression. I seen a very lifted, midnight blue truck drive by me. I decided I wanted to drive it.

I flagged the guy in the truck down. He pulled over and I got out. I firmly told him I wanted to drive his truck.

He laughed, not to be rude, but because I am 4 foot 11 inches tall. When he opens the door the cabin of the truck hit my waist.

Laughing He said , “you do, how are you going to get in?” he got out of the truck handing me the keys. I grabbed the side of the door handle and pulled myself up. He got in the passenger side and we drove off. I drove about 3 blocks and pulled over. That truck was shaking it had so much power under the hood.

I said, “I’m done.” After that he wanted me to go get a drink with him. I told him I would follow him in my car.

He ended up becoming my husband. Through the fights and struggles he has never left my side in 36 years.

It was risky the way I met my husband. So many things could have went wrong. But in the end it was a risk worth taking.
