Do you want to know how to live dangerously? Or learn the ultimate secret on how to be one of those sky soaring, scuba diving, cave climbing, daredevils?
The secret is easy. It’s courage!
Okay well... Duh. Courage is the answer on how to live dangerously? That’s a no brainer...
But wait!
The easy part is knowing that courage is what you need in order to live dangerously. The hard part is learning how to get that courage. Not everyone can muster up the courage to go bungee jumping off a twenty story building out of thin air at any given moment. But little steps of courage can make huge strides. And that my friends, is how you get closer to living the dangerous life everyone so greatly admires.
All individuals are at a different level when it comes to determining what is scary or dangerous based on his or her own fears. So not everyone has to be a sky soaring, scuba diving, cave climbing, daredevil in order to live dangerous life. A man who pets a dog that has always feared them is a man who lives dangerously. A woman who tries sushi that is afraid to try new food is one who lives dangerously.
In fact, there are probably a lot of people who live dangerous lives everyday and they aren’t even aware of it. Little setbacks or uncertainty in any given situation allows for a person to make a daring choice. By repeatedly continuing to make daring choices in uncomfortable situations is practice towards a greater, fulfilled,and adventuresome life.
In other words, it takes work to become a reckless adventurer, and the only way to make that happen is to take those small steps of courage. Perhaps you can start with switching up your daily morning coffee that you have drank for the past seven years. Or maybe say hello to the young gentleman who looks your way every time you enter your favorite home-style restaurant.
You could enter a race even if you don’t think you’ll ever finish it, or take ukulele lessons if you never thought you would play an instrument. You can apply for a job that you may think you’ll never have the chance of getting or tell the person you love how you really feel about them. Fly if you’re afraid to fly, swim if you’re afraid to sink, and take steps that might make you fall because even if it does... So what?
That’s how you live dangerously.
