Understanding the word Risk and being able to actually apply what it means in our daily lives are two different things. For instance, when I was little I had no fear for things, I was ready to do anything to make ends meet for myself and younger ones. I was ready to risk all it takes to actually achieve a lot. Until I let Fear take a better hold of me due to the experiences I have had interacting with various personalities.
I would further say that I understand what Risk is but I fear the possible outcome. Which could be positive or negative.
This actually leads to my question How do I overcome my fears which limits my ability to take risk?
