A willingness to take bold risks leads to new discoveries, places, relationships, thoughts, emotions and most importantly a well- lived life. I do not know about you, but I have always played it safe, explaining this behavior as logical and measured. Whenever my life has enhanced significantly, it has been a result of taking a lot of risk , which is uncharacteristic of me. I wish I was audacious enough to live my life without the suffocation of fea . I am described as fearless by a lot of people I know, because the anchor of fear is a lot heavier on them the on me, relatively speaking. I wonder if our ancestors could have discovered fire or invented a wheel if they were as fearful as we are. The audacious people are now misfits in our society but they are the ones who allow mankind to take giant leaps. The Wright brothers had the audacity to believe that humans can fly in machines and then they did. As a society we have lost the audacity to think and live big. Unfortunately our society has the audacity to be rude and disrespectful to others and live a life of impudence when it comes to the world we live in. We don’t think big anymore. We think small. I will try to augment courage and dissipate hesitation and fear so that I can pursue a vigorous life. Life is not about enduring, but living. I do not think I can be fearless but have the audacity to be free from it……..
