Why It’s Important to Be Brave and Take Risks

Doing things when we can’t predict the outcome is scary. And sometimes that fear of the unknown can hold us back from trying things in the first place.

But taking risks, trying new things, and stepping into the unknown is where a lot of the magic in life happens.

So, in many cases, we need a little prodding to do things anyways… even when we aren’t sure how they will turn out. We often need some encouragement to take risks, to take chances, and to do scary things in service of a fuller, more meaningful life!

Today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes that help me remember to be brave and take risks. I hope these words of wisdom can inspire you today to keep leaping into the beautiful unknown. 

1.  “If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.” – Geena Davis
   
   
2.  “Our lives improve only when we take chances.” – Walter Anderson
   
   
3.  “To live, to truly live, we must be willing to risk. To be nothing in order to find everything. To leap before we look.” – Mandy Hale
   
   
4.  “Taking risks to create the life you want is an act of trust. It means believing in your ability to create a new reality while you are in the process of creating it.” – Gina Greenlee
   
   
5.  “A ship is always safe at the shore but that is not what it is built for.” – Albert Einstein

Remember: you are meant for a full life. You are meant to truly live. And a full, true life involves taking chances and taking risks… It involves taking leaps of faith and trusting yourself to build a beautiful life from whatever comes.

Today, I hope that you can exercise your muscles of bravery and risk taking. Even if it is in a very small way!

Can you say something you’ve been holding back? Can you try a new recipe that stretches your comfort zone in the kitchen? Can you speak up in a meeting to share a new and innovative idea? Can you do something important to you, even if you don’t know how it will turn out?

Cheers to a brave day full of putting ourselves out there in meaningful, important ways. We’ve got this!

Until next time…

Keep Tapping!
