7. Stop Trying To Live Traditionally
You may want a traditional life, and that is fine, but most of us need to get out of the conventional way of living to become a better version of ourselves. In other words, if it doesn 't fit with your authentic self, stop doing what is conventionally 'right '.
Get ready for people to be upset with you, though. Your friends, parents, and peers that are living traditionally will judge you and try to make you feel as though you are not living life in the 'right ' way.
For instance, the decision not to have kids can be very stressful for some people, even if they know that they don 't want kids in this life. People will tell them that they are not normal, contributing to society, or giving them the grandchild, niece, nephew, or godchild that they

Cut Certain People Out Of Your Life
Certain people are holding you back from becoming a better you. We are told that we are not supposed to remove people from our lives, but the truth is that doing so may be the only way to get free of their chains and make decisions that are better suited for us.
- Pessimistic people will make your goals seem impossible to reach because they believe that nothing ever works out in this life.
- Low energy people will force you to do nothing towards your goals as you hang around with them because they don 't want to do anything in life.
- Small minded people will beg you to avoid taking risks because their fear is massive when it comes to stepping outside of their comfort zone.
All of these people will affect your choices negatively and lower your energy. If you want to be a better you, your energy needs to be high and in the flow, not low and working against the flow.
9. Keep Things Simple
Don 't overcomplicate your life with too many goals, too many changes, or too many of anything. We often think that we need to approach life in a 'go big or go home ' way, but all that does is muck things up and keep things from working
Can you imagine yourself being apart of a group or lifestyle, now imagine yourself not fitting in. Maybe some people think you’re weird, but people just like you understand. Many suggest that it’s dangerous while others want to join. Whatever the reason may be you still consider yourself apart of society. As you grow older you realize that many people have different backgrounds and maybe even distinct behaviors. When people feel a deep need for love or respect, values and morals may be forgotten. It’s their customs, rituals, and beliefs that make up their own culture.
Everyone has taken risks whether they be big or not, they will lead you down the path you choose in life. In the short stories Beowulf, Black Heart, and The Deep taking risks was a big part in all three. In Beowulf, there is many risks that he took, but the main one was that he risked his life to save the people that he loved. In the second book Black Heart by Mark Brazaitis, the girl risked her life to make friends with something she knew could kill her because she was so lonely. In the final book, The Deep by Anthony Doerr the main character made risks every day because he never knew if he was going to wake up to see the next.
I have learned that tradition can be a magnificent bestowal, however one must be aware and still maintain an unbiased realization that other alternatives exist.
Margie Warrell explains how as a culture we don’t take enough risks. We do this because our modus operandi is to catastrophize and predict things will go wrong even though we often overestimate the risks. She also states that we expect things to be worse than they would be if they do turn out badly because our brains are wired to do so. Often we are pessimistic of our own abilities and so we expect we will be unable to cope with the consequences, thus we try to avoid risk so we don’t have to worry about needing to fix things in the aftermath. While overplaying the risks of doing something we downplay the risks of following the status quo—we try to persuade ourselves that it is better than taking the risk even if the status quo is sub-par.
We all know that staying safe will keep us alive, but it is a boring way to live. The biggest regret a person can have is never trying what they always wanted. As mentioned before, time never stops, so it is crucial that they act now. We fight a battle before we are even born against millions of others to see who will get to the egg first and be fertilized and born. We did not come to this world to just be safe and to be afraid to do new things. We all have a reason to be here and the journey of life is to find our purpose in life. It is what makes life so great, but to get their we must take risks and overcome that fear. People are afraid of taking risks because of failure. They are afraid to fail and not get anywhere. However, that fear can be overcome is they keep pushing and keep trying and keep taking risks. Taking risks will get a person out of their “safe” comfort zones and the result of this can be something so
The most vital part that has developed mankind is risk taking. Indeed, taking risks means that losses are almost inevitable. Yet, the very possibility of gaining from the result of risk taking means that risks are necessary. In fact, while taking risks may cause significant losses, it is the very possibility of gain that has made risk taking so essential to the development of humanity.
As Charles R. Swindoll, the famous pastor and author, once said,” Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.” And we react to these events by taking action. To some, these actions may cause us to risk
In this world we are all our own person. We make decisions based on our needs and
Every day, more and more attempts of banning books and taking away the rights of our First Amendment get violated. The challenging of a book is the attempt to remove or restrict materials, and the banning is the removal of these materials. I believe that books should not be banned for these reasons.
Staying strong to your culture’s beliefs despite the differing values between other cultures can deprive some people of what others may be free to do, but for some it can cost
A risk can be involved with so many things whether it’s good or bad. It sometimes results in an expected outcome or just an event that is horrible and unpredicted. It is important in life to take chances
“Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.
In conclusion I believe that you definitely need to figure out what your beliefs our and what your traditions our in your life. Then you need to figure out which ones you truly belief in and which one’s society has influenced you into believing. If you don’t ever figure this out you can never become the person you can be and you will be limiting yourself and your potential. Traditions our very powerful and can shape almost every aspect of our life’s.
Not every event has a guaranteed outcome- sometimes, one has to take a gamble in the game of life. There are some, however, who would prefer to travel within the safe, confined lane of actions with a definite outcome. Deciding whether or not to take risks in life can be tricky, but as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.” This quote means that people should take risks in their endeavors, because life is precisely about trying new things and experiences. As the quote explains, taking risks in life is a vital step to success, fulfillment, and gaining more out of experiences.
To take a chance, one is accepting the possibilities of what could happen from the choice they have made.
