Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
A few years ago, a primary care provider noted I’m high in sensation-seeking. I don’t like rollercoasters. Don’t care too much for ziplining. I’m not keen on parachuting out of an airplane. But maybe one day. However, I do believe in taking big risks in work. Go big or go home. And, for the most part, that has worked.
Even when my risks have not turned out as hoped, I have managed to move on and engage in a process of self-reflection. In said process, I help myself not regret my risk-taking.
The one thing that is really hard for me to get over is when I take a chance trusting someone and they let me down. I feel such an action as if it were like a dagger to the chest. Not a knife in my back. Put a hit on the heart. Trust is to be earned, and when it’s abused, it may make you risk-averse when it comes to trusting people. However, you eventually have to trust people. Your spirit, humanity, and sanity call for it.

Regret is not useful and bingeing on it is unhealthy. If you can own it and walk away a wiser person without filling your life with, “What if?” you’ll be a happier person.
For every what if that could have succeeded spectacularly, there’s another that could have destroyed you. One makes the past a burden and the other fills you with fear. Together they paralyze.
