I've read it before and it adds up, to add some freedom to your life you must take a risk, the bigger the risk, the more freedom.
I recall reading Eleanor Roosevelt saying about the same thing, keep the risks coming, day in day out.
An Example: You sped 10 miles over the speed limit today. How did that make you feel? Freer? 20 miles over, even more freedom?
So what risks have you taken lately to give your more freedom?
Last week, I was down in Nogales, Mexico, with my roommate, and we blindly went to a Dr. there, as we have the same ailment. Rather scary, as the charge to see the Dr. was only 40 peso's, roughly $3.25!
We were both given one of those multi-vitamin injections, which I had one in the past, and they do wonders. Don't know what's in it, it just does the job!
Yup! A bit risky, but ah the freedom of not dealing with U.S. Dr.'s and the pharmacies where you need a prescription, which you don't need in Mexico!

Long live Freedom!
Most likely you can tell from the words I BOLDed, in what you wrote, that while you have risks worth taking, & they are many... STUPIDITY will not in the short-term, nor the long-run, increase your freedom, nor anyone else's.
1. you paid only $3.25, but you have NO idea what's in those injections you accepted.
&
2. Racing past the Speed-limit: do you CARE about yourself ?, or anyone else's LIFE ?
And a Speeding ticket will, depending on where you live, FAR exceed $3.25
But KNOWingly Benefitting day after day from essential minerals, etc. etc, is one thing, as they have Accumulating... benefits...
But no "shot" can give you those benefits...
So Make you world big... Expand your horizons... and Responsibly learn to live Free...

I don't think risk equals freedom. In fact, I don't think they're connected at all. I've mostly spent my life avoiding risks and living a pretty sedate life. I made rational decisions at almost every point in my life, and the risks I've taken have been very calculated. I arrived at my current job after I left a reputable but failing company to work as a freelancer. The risks were minimal though - I had a stable of clients waiting to hire me and a lot of high-quality contacts.
I currently work from home (same company for over a decade) with a lot of leeway to come and go as I please (and take regular naps) - I can travel anywhere I want as long as it has an internet connection and set up shop there for as long as I please. I make a decent salary that allows me to buy pretty much anything I want (though my tastes are not exactly luxurious). I've cultivated a reputation as a reliable, kind and intelligent employee - I get to be as weird as I want here as a result. And I get to work in my pajamas if the spirit moves me.
I dont' see how getting sketchy shots from a doctor in Mexico equates to freedom. Based on your example, I don't even think you understand what the word means.

I don't think she literally means risk your life. Take a risk could mean apply for that job you don't think you're qualified for, ask out that girl you think is out of your league. It doesn't mean try bungee jumping or start speeding in your car. Those other things are the things most people lose opportunities over because they were afraid to try, the things late in life we say " I wish I had gone for that".

I do not believe that the greater risk you take, the greater freedom you will have.
What if you risk your savings on a hot new, unproven stock? Really? If the stock tanks you will have lost your savings. Where is the freedom in that?
As to your taking a vitamin shot in Mexico, well, you don't really know what is in that shot, do you? It isn't as if the FDA has certified that the ingredients in the shot are what is advertised. And then there is the placebo effect.
You feel free to take your risks; I prefer a safer life, myself.
The more risk you take the more reward you expect back which is naturally a great feeling when it comes off, However not at the expense of others
I don't think risk makes you freer as such but maybe it does make you more self aware of your capabilities which does in effect allow you to move more freely and at ease perhaps...

Interesting, is that, in that maybe there wasn't a risk in the first place. Which gives freedom from the chains.
Note; It was only the other day, that my wife told me that she'd considered splitting up with me, because of how I used to drive. (Think RAC rally). Now, there's an example of risk, and the freedom in return.
