Have you ever looked at your neighbor or even someone much closer to you and admired their ability to just don’t care about what anyone else thinks about their actions and just live the life how they deem fit? Well, that is just one of the reasons why bold and fearless people have the most fun in their lives. They’re not weighed down with other people’s opinions, they know how to live a stress-free life and make decisions solely based on their experience and by following their own instincts. But that’s not the only thing fearless people do differently.
They are not afraid to take risks
Fearless people are all about acting now and living in the moment. If they see an opportunity, they’ll act on it even if they know it poses a certain risk to them. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is one of the biggest mottos fearless people live by, which is exactly why they make the most of their lives.
However, taking risks doesn’t mean that they’re being reckless. Unlike reckless people who act on a whim, without thinking everything through, fearless people are well aware of the risks a certain situation carries, but will still act on it, simply because they believe they can come out as winners. Even if they don’t reach their goal, they’re ready for all the consequences.
They get what they want
Instead of waiting for things to happen and land on their lap, fearless people ask and get what they want. They don’t think it’s rude, selfish, or greedy to ask for something that they very well deserve. If worst came to worst, they could have only been rejected. The best-case scenario, they get what they want sooner rather than later. Therefore, if you want to be more fearless, just ask for what is rightfully yours. If you’ve been working hard for the raise you should have gained months ago, go ask for it. Bold people also get what they want without thinking about what anyone else has to say to their decision. If they love creative Japanese tattoos, they’ll go and have one or multiple tattoos on their body. If they want to wear a certain type of clothes, they will and own it like a pro. After all, it’s their life to live it, and no one else should have any say in what they want to make out of their life.
They don’t hesitate or make excuses
Hesitation and excuses are not the words fearless people have in their dictionary. Hesitating on any kind of opportunity is a risk they’re not willing to take because they know nothing good can come out of it. Hesitation means insecurity, and since fearless people are anything but insecure, they will always have a positive attitude towards new opportunities. If they’ve seen a window of opportunity, they won’t whittle away at it, but create the best chances for success. Rather than hesitating and making excuses, fearless people will actually make the first move. Whether it’s asking an acquaintance if they’re free to have a drink with them after work, or letting know the person they like that they’ve got an extra ticket to a concert and they’d be happy if the person went along with them – they’ll be straightforward. Also, if they want to say No, they will if they feel that’s the right thing to do. No beating around the bush, but a straight forward No is exactly what you can expect from fearless people, because they will never string you along.
They’re unpredictable
Bold people are always full of surprises, and you can never know what’s the next brilliant idea they’ve come up with. One day they’ll go skydiving, the other day bungee jumping and the next day they might buy a ticket to Africa and go on a month-long safari. Fearless people enjoy every second of their lives and they’ll do anything to make every second count. They are very well aware of the old saying that Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away, and that’s precisely another motto they live by. This unpredictability is exactly what makes them authentic, and allow them to surprise you over and over again, and all that because they acted on their instincts.
If you’ve been admiring fearless people your entire life, you need to know that you can be just as bold as they are. All it takes is a little bit of determination and a lot of free will. Fearless people know that we only live once, which is enough reason to start living the life the right way and experiencing it to the fullest. There’s no need for you to be afraid because sometimes missing out on just one thing can set to motion an entire chain of reactions that will eventually make you realized you’ve let the entire life pass you buy.
