I hope this is the right place to put this question, it's the closest place I could find.
I realized recently that most of the problems in my life can be traced back to me not taking enough risks. I need to start taking more risks. Even the stupidest things, I can't do, I freeze up. How do I learn to take more risks?

Durene answered Saturday December 1 2007, 8:40 am: well theres a simple answer. just take a risk! its hard to explain.. dont do something too crazy where you could really get hurt or anything, but sometimes you just say "screw it!" and do it anyways. always think of whats there to lose and whats there to gain by taking the risk.
