Three Reasons Why You should Not Be Afraid To Try Something New
1. Because You Don't Want To Live With Regrets
Have you ever been presented with something new and daunting and said no, only to walk away wishing you had've said yes? I certainly have. It's especially awful to watch other people gleefully doing/excelling at something you were too afraid to try, because it gives you the distinct sense that you've completed failed yourself by being a scaredy cat. The best way to not regret the things you didn't do is to do them.
2. Because You'll Be More Interesting
Has anyone in the history of the world ever had a conversation with someone who has tried nothing, only eats white bread, and is fearful of change, and walked away and said, "Wow, what a very well rounded and interesting person"? I'm thinking probably not. The more things you try, the more things you know about, and the more dynamic you'll become both for yourself, and in socializing too.
3. Because No One Ever Accomplished Anything By Letting Their Fear Conquer Them
Do you think Beyoncé lets the things that scare her control her? Absolutely not. Nothing can be accomplished when you're constantly cowering away from life and new challenges. Try more things and be more open to different things in order to succeed at living a full and fun life. Don't let "no" and "I can't" define your existence. Embrace new things with open arms and positivity, because you never know where a scary-seeming task might lead you. It could be somewhere awesome!
