Throughout our lives, situations that challenge us or frighten us arise;events that require us determination and courage to overcome fear doubt and neglect. Some, however, assume certain risks and choose to settle and live on less than what could be achieved.
Life is a dynamic environment characterized by multiple surprises and changes.Faced with these frequent changes, with unexpected frequency, can assume different positions: paralyze, postpone, or act timidly rise above the fear and take risks.
This ability to take risks with a view to overcome or improve, is what is known as audacity. The person bold behavior, moving toward their dreams in spite of difficulties and dangers, because trust their ability to find effective ways to crystallize their desires. The bold, believes that the prize is worth the risk, that price has decided to pay. In other words, boldness is the ability to act in spite of fear.
Audacity is a powerful leverage point that brings about change, it mobilizes its resources despite not having ideal conditions, or special or additional efforts required. Thanks to this special attribute, we have to overcome as individuals, couples, families or groups, difficult times before which passivity or resignation would have been fatal.
Overcome economic hardship, recovering from an illness, a divorce or undertake defend aggressors are situations that may demand boldness. Even to enjoy a decent life based on peace, justice, freedom and prosperity, may require a degree of boldness.
It must be said that like everything, boldness must have limits, must build upon the reason, because I priate standing on the edges of recklessness, it can cause accidents, illness and even death. Not just bet an amount that stake everything. The calculated risk, is the strategy of those who are brave but also intelligent.
There are many who value and support the bold attitude: The fine pen wrote Baltasar Gracian: "Put an ounce of courage in everything you do." Seneca said many things became difficult for those without daring to undertake them. According to John Dewey, the advance of science is due to the audacity of the imagination. And to the genius of the strategy, Niccolo Machiavelli, "better else to do and repent, and do not repent."
Bolívar was bold when he faced a war that led to him being Liberator of five nations; Gandhi was brave when attacked, humiliated and imprisoned, became irreducible and under the holy slogan of "non-violence", achieved political liberation of India; is brave mother goes to work for a decent living and raise their children; the child who is bold demands his father abuse his mother; is bold and assertive worker who asks his boss respect the agreements that have been established.
Usually relates to the audacity and prudence youth with maturity, although in the opinion of Luis Alberto Machado, much of the creative genius of many intellectuals arose when they were between 60 and 80 years of age.
Boldness is usually caused confidence, desperation or madness. Risks which you think you can, which has nothing to lose and not properly calibrated the degree of danger. In all cases, take risks produce higher and better than those derived from the inertia or apathy results.
Furthermore, if we look carefully, life is risk. No one knows whether it awake the next day. so it is not possible to live without risk.
Arguably, in neuroscientific terms, that there is a biochemical audacity. science has discovered that exploratory behaviors and positive expectations, increase dopamine levels in the blood, which produces feelings of euphoria and pleasure. This means that boldness accompanied by optimistic thoughts is emotionally rewarding, but when risks are taken from the perspective of negative or pessimistic thoughts, the area of the brain that governs fear, limbic area, specifically the so-called "brain tonsils is activated. "
You may even learn some courage and come equipped with a temperament that drives risky adventure.Others are born with a sensitive nervous system. According to Jerome Kagan, a psychologist at Harvard University, would be 20% the number of likely risk to flee and maintain emotional stability and comfort subjects. Although it states that with effort and a proper context, can overcome these limitations.
Some useful suggestions for developing boldness, are:
- Take a small risk every day: Create an emotional change requires a change in the brain, and the best way is to take small steps repeated and sustained over time.
- Train yourself: The practice generates domain. Take risks that you can lose or make mistakes without being too affected. Invite someone to dance, ask for a phone number of a person you like and ask for a price cut, work.
- Accept a margin of error: Assume that small failures are tolerable, and will take such steps to great opportunities.
- Risk more where it is most needed: If you require couples to risk there, if you need money, take more risk and seek options in this area of your life.
- Plan: Risking not mean to commit follies. Can you try to control the details and make more hits each time.
