Self Improvement Tip of the Day: We Grow By Taking Risks

Life is full of risks. When we are children it's a risk to stop lying around and learning to crawl. Learning to walk is an even bigger risk. What about your first day at school, or the when you tried out for your first sports team, or went on your first date? There's no doubt its all scary stuff – at least at the time.

But kids are very often much better at taking risks than adults – have you ever seen young kids skiing for the first time? They seem to easily pick it up and in no time at all they're racing around the slopes like experts. First time adult skiers generally take much longer to feel and look confident. This may well be because they fear hurting themselves and most kids don't even think about it, or because adults generally don't learn new things as easily as children.

The simple reality is that we need to take risks to grow as people. Anyone who is completely unprepared to take any risks is almost certainly not living anywhere near as fulfilling a life as they could be. In fact most of us could benefit by reassessing our attitude towards risk.

I'm not suggesting here that you should suddenly take up parachute jumping or invest your lifesavings on the stock market.
