Live life "dangerously"

Living life dangerously does not mean to do all those crazy stuffs like bungee jump, scream without reason in the crowd or doing things that are beyond your ability.

For me, I think that living life dangerously is about taking risk and not worrying too excessively about how things will turn out. I would say I did something that is considered dangerous to me one or week ago.
FYI, my hair looks like a mushroom at that time, so I am ready to go get my hair trimmed/cut.
What is so dangerous just getting a haircut?
Because this time round, my friend is going to give me haircut! And I have no idea how skilled he is.

I was actually quite nervous imagining all worst scenarios.
Despite thinking too much about what may happen, I went for it.
And I couldn't feel much more happier.
Why?
Because previously, I had actually went for 10 different barber shop to get a haircut, but they just wouldn't allow me to have the haircut I want.
But my friend followed my request that day and did what I wanted for my hair.

For me, I think he really gave me a professional haircut.
He gave himself a mark of 7 out of 10 for the end result of my hair, but I score him 8.5 out of 10!

At first, I didn't like it too much, because I am not used to having my hair being styled that way.
I was a little bit nervous going out for the fear of being judged because of my new hairstyle for the first few days.
And yeahh, some of my friends don't really like it and give some bad comments about it.
But there is still one or two friends that compliment my new hairstyle.

I slowly realize that it doesn't really matter anymore.
At the end of the day, people are going to give many different kinds of comments, good or bad. We just can't stop it. Let others express their opinions however they want because everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. And we have no control over what they want to say.

All we can do is to control how we react to the comments from others.  

Nasty comments hurt really bad, but imagine if you can learn how to deal with it, how wonderful your life is going to be ...

Okay back to topic, living life dangerously. How can we do that?
You can maybe try doing these few things below:
  • Go for a swim and be comfortable with your own body. 
  • Trying out clothes that you like although others say you look odd.
  • Grab every opportunities to face your fears. (fear of darkness, height, animals/ anything)
  • Go shopping & don't get affected by the shop assistants that may stare at you right in the eyes.
  • ___ fill in the blank. You get the idea. 

Just do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable at first will do. (obviously only try something that will benefit you in the long run) (Not something like getting a tattoo, piercing, smoking etc!)

Go out there and live your life DANGEROUSLY.
It is fun to live life "dangerously" once in a while. And it will most definitely make you feel alive again!!
