The older we get, the more risk-averse we become. Our fears magnify and we have a tendency to pull back from life. But pulling back and avoiding things we’re afraid of only magnifies our fears and makes our world smaller. Instead, try stepping forward boldly. Take a risk, even a small one. Try something new even if it seems scary. Do something you’ve never done before even if it’s just going out to lunch by yourself. Cultivate friendships with new people, especially those younger than yourself. Keep it interesting. Keep it exciting. Keep it alive.© Donna Cardillo. All rights reserved.
