Be fearful. Be bold. Forget coloring in the lines. Here are 5 Risks Every Gutsy Girl Must Take:
1. Fall in love. Really seize it. The guy probably won't be "The One". But that's how you learn who you are.
2. Be yourself-especially in a relationship. We still live in a sexist world where women often twist themselves into what they think a man wants in order to have him. Put yourself first before pleasing a guy and you're more likely to find the guy who's right.
3. Make a firm plan to move out of your comfort zone. Say "I'll works this entry level job for two more years, and then, no matter what, I'm moving on."
4. Try everything you find interesting.
5. Dare to ask: What is my purpose here? You might not know the answer but you'll learn a lot in the process.
