"Life is about living"

Life is about taking chances. I figured it out about 6 and a half minutes ago. Taking chances. What does that even mean? to do what your afraid of? to do something even when you know its wrong? To be an individualist? to like something while everyone else doesnt? to do the impossible? some might say to jump off a building and fly. But what exactly does it mean to take chances? im sure for every person its different. Does it mean to do something daring? or to simply be something your not?
All i know is that if i didnt take these so-called "chances" i wouldn't be the person i am today. So i guess you can say, that i did what i was afraid of, i've done things that i knew were wrong, i consider myself an individualist, i like plenty of things that others dont like, i guess you can say i've done the impossible, my flying attempt hasn't worked out ..yet, i've been daring, and i use to be something i wasn't. So i guess you can say i took enough "chances" but, according to my friend, life isn't about taking chances its about living.
