I googled risk and these are some of the things that popped up.
risk - definition of risk - The quantifiable likelihood of loss or less-than- expected returns
risk - the game about war
Risk is a concept that denotes the precise probability of specific eventualities. Technically, the notion of risk is independent from the notion of value and, as such, eventualities may have both beneficial and adverse consequences. However, in general usage the convention is to focus only on potential negative impact to some characteristic of value that may arise from a future event.

risk analysis
calculated risk
These words all feel frightening and negative. I have risked this week and have felt like a war was going on. Also I have experienced loss or less that expected returns. I have taken calculated risks. I have focused too much on the negative impact and am struggling to see the beneficial ones. I have to be patient. A long term investor.
When I risk and get a return of anger, I panic, like a wall street broker. Cut your losses and run. I have been trying risky things and some have worked out, which I love, but the flip side stings. It tells me I am a fool, subjecting myself to more pain. Yet I feel compelled to keep going.

This is a great post. I loved that the words didn't at all sugar coat the reality of what it means to RISK.
I hope that you are allowing people to see the blood that is pouring from you when you receive hurtful, disappointing and negative responses.
I hope you are feeling lovely as you stand there risking...risking for more, inviting people to change their dance with you.
