Either economicly or emotionally.
I suppose the ones that you failed in are the most important. You, at least, had the courage to try.
And in the long run, wasn't it worth it?

That's what I'm talking about.

I've done the economic and emotional all rolled into one; moved cross country with nothing but 2 suitcases full of clothes, my guitar, and one duffle bag of shoes with $60. I didn't fail. 12 years later it's still fabulous.

After finishing my undergraduate degree in Canada, I found a job in Japan online. I only had a phone interview with the boss. I had no clue where I'll stay, what the school looks like, if it's safe there, etc. I don't know the language, and I don't have enough money with no friends there. I've never had a full-time job before either. There's no contract either. My parents totally disagreed me to go there.
I just wanted to challenge myself and to see if I can survive in a foreign country. I also wanted to learn to be more independent, plus getting some work experience & cultural experiences.
After 3 weeks of being hired, I just jumped on a plane and went there and worked for 2 years. Learned how to ride a bicycle well, learnt the language & culture there, earned a lot of money, & made great friends.
It was probably the most risky thing I've ever done so far in my life, and it was well worth it.

paddling out at the mexican pipeline during a huge hurricaine swell. it was worth every second, even the painful body slams of dropping in too late trying to get ever so deep in the pit and being held down till my lungs burned and wondering if i would ever breath sweet air again. the most exhilerating day of my life. i'm too old now to ever think about paddling into such a wave again and i am proud and happy i did it while i could. life would be less were it not for that day. i am so glad i took that risk if i had decided not to paddle out that day i would always wonder what it would it would've been like. i didn't appreciate it as much then as i do now. with every year i age i come to apreciate the risk i took that day so much more.

I am a huge risk taker.
The biggest risk I took and am failing at is buying and maintaining a house. I bit off more than I could chew, but learned a lot in the process. Renting isn't so bad, in retrospect.
The biggest risk I took and "succeeded" with was college. I have earned 3 degrees and each one increased my earning potential (but obviously not enough to maintain this awesome house!)

I guess the biggest risk would be leaving my husband but I'm still in the process so I can't tell you how it turned out yet...

I don't believe I've actually taken the biggest risk in my life just yet.
