Taking Risks

Published by macarun at 11:29 am under Uncategorized Edit This

When I say taking risks for confidence, the things I’m talking about are usually not ACTUALLY risky at all. Its just we perceive them as risky. For example, if you’re in a coffee shop and all of a sudden break into impromptu song and dance, that’d be crazy. It would take someone incredibly comfortable in their own skin and not vulnerable to other people’s opinions to do something like that. Most of us would never consider doing something that offbeat, mostly because it’s a social risk.

Even starting conversation with someone you don’t know, in a public place is not a social norm because most people are afraid to do so. We all know we’re not going to die or suffer any sort of physical harm by talking to everyone, but for some reason, we convince ourselves not to do it. A confident person is not AFRAID to put himself out there and go for it.

On a recent trip to Vegas, I was FORCED to put myself out there even more than usual, and I’ll tell you what happened…
