Acceptable Risk

I've noted this before, but it's been a while.  So, it's a good offset to the accounting post... since both are important.

When I was taking my auditing course in my accounting study, I remember being fascinated by the fact that we had a whole chapter on what was called "acceptable risk."  The point being that an environment that was completely safe was also one that didn't grow and often collapsed.  So, you have to take chances.  But, being wild about it is also a formula to collapse.  So, you had to determine how much risk you were willing to take that would also not upset your foundation.  

It's exactly why I'm not dating til I get my paychecks going.  Dating is expensive, especially for men.  I don't want to put my budget at risk, til it is safe. Afterwards, I plan to start using dating apps and inviting people out for company having fun to the things I am already going to be doing.  I don't anticipate a lot of lack if I'm like... hey I'm going to this restaurant and concert...or game or whatever...wanna come?  I don't want anyone to like me for money, but it would make it easier to connect with people.

But, as for taking chances, to quote the guy in We Bought a Zoo... why not?  What do you have to lose. In every area of life, not just dating, taking chances can only improve your life, as long as you manage the risk within what you deem as acceptable.

So, yes.. account for your life and be wise, but don't forget to take chances.  It's the only way you will grow.
