For my whole life, I have decided to live in my comfort zone and not allow myself to experience some of my deepest desires or my biggest fears. Until this past summer, I went on a cruise with my husband and my in-loves. There is something amazing about going somewhere and experiencing a different culture,vibe of life, and perspective.
While in Cadiz, Spain I was watching a Flamenco performance and during the middle of show the performers came down and grabbed people from their seats; I was one of those people. My biggest fear is dancing around other people. Instead of saying no though, I took the chance and I never felt better at life because of it. The two minutes I was dancing with the Flamenco dancer, I felt alive and not scared of what other people thought.
When I decided to take this feeling and put it towards my daily life I realized how quickly I stopped being bound to people's thoughts and words about me because they didn't mean anything anymore. I started to take tiny risks in my daily life and face some fears that I have had for years upon years. It truly amazed me how quickly I was able to transform my mind and feel free of judgement and how I didn't care about gossip.
I encourage you to take risks daily and set yourself free from the care of others. When I decided to take that dace it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and I don't regret taking risks anymore.
