I'm not sure if the following sentence is grammatically correct. And even if it is, I'm wondering if there's a better way of saying it.
How much are we willing to risk for the possibility of getting what we want most? (I keep thinking "what" needs to be "that which," but that sounds icky in context.)
I'm considering these other options:
How much are we willing to risk for the possibility of getting what we most want? (switched most and want)
and
How much are we willing to risk for the possibility of getting what we want the most? (added the)
I used to have
How much are we willing to risk for the possibility of getting what we truly want? (Problem here is that it doesn't really mean what I want it to say--we can truly want lots of things, but I'm trying to express wanting one thing more than any other thing.)
Any thoughts? Thank you for your help.
