Taking risks is something in my mind that I try to avoid at all costs. I only take them when I absolutely have to. It’s not my go to choice when I choose to do things. But who’s first choice is the risky one right?
Yet every time I have taken a risk, I’ve either learned something valuable or gotten something great out of it. Nothing can compare to the fear I feel when I am going to do something I’ve never done before. Getting out of my comfort zone is always scary. I’m never prepared for it and doing something risky sweeps me off my feet. Taking risks is something I do when there is no other option.

Lately, I have learned that taking risks and doing something different usually pays off. More often than not, they pay off. So why am I always so afraid to take them? Why does that scare me to a point where I would rather not take the chance? Doing something different and taking a risk is good for more and I want to do more of it. I want to get out of my comfort zone and do things I never thought I would. I’ll grow so much more and become more of a confident person. I want to do things I’ve never done and get thing I’ve never gotten. Doing something different will lead me on that path.
Why would I not want to change my life with a risk? One risk in the right direction will help me. I’m not saying I’m going to go out and take some dangerous risks but why would I not want to take some that will better myself? Taking chances is a big step in growing up and learning how to take them is something that I am still in the process of yet have begun to do more and more. It’s been a long and hard process but one that is worth it.
If you’re thinking of taking that risk, like selling all your belongings to travel the world or just asking that cute boy out, if it feels right, just do it. What do you have to lose? You’ll gain so much more than you’ll lose even if it doesn’t work out. The experience is priceless.
So I’m learning to take risks because you have to take them.
