In February of this year, I decided to get bangs. And when it comes to a woman's hair, that is a very big risk. Generally, at least some prior deliberation would go into a decision like this, but that, however, was not the case for me. I randomly decided that day, while sitting in the salon chair, that I would change my hair and, unknowingly, change my life forever.

To start off, it should be known that I've never really been a "spur-of-the-moment" kind of person, due to fear of possible repercussions. A lack of self-confidence barricaded my pathway to success - taking a risk meant failing, and I didn't believe in myself enough to face defeat. Thus, I stayed put in my comfort zone and chose not to challenge myself. It wasn't until that fateful day in February that I realized the benefits of spontaneity and risk-taking, and how it could help improve my life.
