  great video Tess and it made me smile- how boring life would be if we didn’t take even the smallest of risks?

  Hey Tess,

  Great video! Love the idea of being a risk taker and putting that in a positive light. We do need to reach out if we want to change our lives!

  Bravo, Tess! You’re such a beautiful example of someone who takes risks regularly. I love how you said that shifting our mindset from seeing risk taking as scary to instead seeing it as a precursor to success. Yes! XO

  Love this video. I’m all for taking risks and even if you fail, you can be proud of yourself for actually doing something when most people never truly act. I almost died in a car crash yesterday and this really woke me up to use every moment of my life. It’s so short and it can be over in a heartbeat. Taking risks really should be part of your daily habits.

  Tess,
  I don’t think about myself as a risk taker but after hearing your video I’ve changed my mind. I always think that risk taking is not good but the way you say it, it sounds fun!!

  Thanks for being on the blog this week!!

  xoxo

  Risk taking is critical and can be exciting, great points. It’s part of our make up to want certainty, comfort and stability, but stretching the boundaries is where real growth takes place.

  So, basically, you take risks when you drive on the Freeway?! I am just now beginning to understand how being successful in just about anything you do involves taking risks. This is a fresh reminder.

  thanks
  John

  Love this video! So glad I found it … all sorts of research points to the idea that thinking of ourselves in a certain way leads us to actually start acting that way. The trick is deciding to think that way in the first place, especially since that itself is a risk! At least, it is for me. But I’m going to keep these amazing thoughts in mind for the future.
