If it is the only chance to change my financial goal and mindset, that there is nothing impossible to change the version of self, then I would rather risk to fall to just to know how it feels to fly. Yes, you can soar high after you fall because you will never want to let it happen again. At first, you are afraid to invest because of risk, but your mind resolves it; if you don't start, then you will never learn the value of investing and how it will work for you. It is better to fall than never try at all. It is the same as in this statement, which states and I quote: No guts, no glory- no regrets, no story.

What you shared is powerful—it shows courage and the willingness to break free from limitations to reach a better version of yourself. Taking that leap, even with the risk of falling, can open doors to growth that comfort zones never will.
But as much as it’s brave to leap, it’s also wise to prepare. That’s where cautious and informed investing comes in. Taking the time to understand where your money is going, studying the risks, and starting small can make the fall less painful—if it happens at all. You don’t need to avoid risk, just respect it.
A mindset like yours—bold yet willing to learn—is the foundation of every successful investor. As you rightly pointed out: “No guts, no glory – no regrets, no story.” And to that, I’ll add your own guiding principle:
“Invest only what you can afford to lose.”
It’s a simple but powerful motto. Let it remind you that growth doesn’t always mean recklessness—it means courage guided by wisdom. Keep soaring, but always fly with your eyes open.
