Fearless: Embracing Risks and Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

The album cover of Taylor Swift’s first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version)

Are you all familiar with the Taylor Swift song titled “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)?” Yup, I’m certainly sure that everyone knows Taylor Swift, especially one of her popular songs, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version).” Taylor describes “Fearless” as a song about being in pursuit of love, taking risks, and embracing new experiences without hesitation. Simply, this song is about the fearlessness of falling in love. No matter how many times you get hurt, you will always fall in love again. No matter how many times you fall, you will always get up again and learn from your mistakes.

       Life doesn’t always give you what you want, but instead gives you what you need. Oftentimes, we will face many unexpected things and challenges in life. However, to keep our spirits up, we can remember to be fearless! “Fearless” describes someone or something bold, brave, and courageous. Every time we feel anxious or fearful about something we may face, it makes us hesitate to continue. In contrast, we should embrace the risk and step outside of our comfort zone to challenge ourselves to become better.

       For instance, as a student, or as a part of the young generation, sometimes we feel the emptiness and uncertainty of life, right? We may not know what to pursue in the future, or what kind of goals we should achieve, or we may even doubt our ability to achieve those goals. “Can I become the person I dreamt of?” or “Should I give up on my goals?” Those feelings might come up in your mind once, but don’t let them control your life. At some point, we should let go of all of the anxiousness and fear of failing. We should take it for granted and try to see what’s going on next. We shouldn’t be carried away by our negative mind or feelings, but try to get out of it! Be confident and brave in your abilities, and also give extraordinary efforts in everything.

       In conclusion, even though life is giving you ups and downs, don’t just give up and embrace the risk by becoming fearless. We may become fearless but don’t be careless! Make it a motivation to keep going and challenge yourself, both in the present and future.
