BE BOLD AS YOUR EYELINER

We often look down on the entire concept of making mistakes. If you ask me, it is one of the most underrated and underutilized forms of learning. Mistakes happen when you dare to do something you had never done before or step into an absolutely new area that is out of your comfort zone. In short, when you are BOLD.

I do not mean being rude, aggressive, or foolhardy is Bold. Bold, in my opinion, is all about being confident, living life on one’s terms and being unapologetic. So, take my advice- be bold, adventurous, and brave when making decisions – good or bad – you will come out as a winner. If good, you get to flaunt it. If bad, you will learn from it. 

Personally speaking, I am a mistress of the so-called- bold-mistakes, from changing my bag on the morning of an exam resulting in forgetting my admission card on the first day of my XIIth  Boards to choosing Political Science as my honours subject and proposing to my husband on the first day we met and that too just after 5 minutes of conversation. Everybody including my parents thought I was just plain simply reckless well to me I was being brave and following my gut. If, I get to go back in time and change... I will not. I will happily make these "mistakes" again. 

Fool rush in where angels fear to tread - My sister, who always played safe, often said that to me. Now that I am older and I can reply, if she is reading this, “Maybe that’s why Fools have interesting stories to tell.”

Let me end this with a quote from We Bought a Zoo, “You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”

I hope you enjoyed reading. Please do comment and let me know what you think.
