What you gained – and lost – by taking a risk.

Hello all, I hope you all had a wonderful. Mine was truly blessed. So today I want to talk about gaining, losing and risk taking.  I have always lived my life by the book.  I would listen to what people would say if I had an idea to make a change. Some would say girl you are crazy, or I would never do anything like that. I decided that it was time to start taking some risk in life and build a new future for my family and I.

So I went to school for Paralegal Studies to try to find a better career. So I totally felt like I was going to gain a new outlook on life. I received my Associates degree in Paralegal Studies, I just knew the jobs would be knocking down my door. Every Paralegal job I would apply for would tell me I am not qualified. They would say oh you need at least 5 to 10 yrs of experience. How could this be possible??? How could no one not want to even try to give me a chance. Or give me 90 days to try to prove myself. Then I would say why would my school not assist like they promised when I first started going to the school.

Now I could start feeling like I gained nothing but loss. I felt as if I wasted time and money on a degree I will never use. I will say this, the decision to go back to school showed courage and risk.  I am glad I went to school and obtain the degree. It  may have not given me the job I felt I should have, it did show me that we must try take risk no matter the gain or loss.  Though technically it was not my loss it was those others loss for not even having confidence in my abilities to be successful with there company. Do not be afraid to take risks in life. Every decision in life has an up and down. Stay  positive and Driven through it all.
Please share if this brought value to you.

So I ask you all:  What you gained – and lost – by taking a risk? Please post you comments I will respond to all of them.
