When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.
I'm always doing things that scare me, because I feel like that's how you should live life. If I'm terrified - and I'm often terrified - then I should be doing that. Like trapeze class, or singing in front of 5,000 people.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!
I think I've gotten to the point in my life where I have to do everything that I'm scared of because you're not going to learn anything if you don't, so you just have to dive in the deep end and see if you can swim.
I'm really passionate about things I enjoy, and I like to be out there doing things, and learning and challenging myself. So it's just more fun that way, just to get out and try and do and learn and meet people and try to do something new.
I love sports. I love being active. I love challenging myself. I was a jock growing up from the time I could walk.
I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I'm constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes.
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
It's important to do things that scare you to death!
Moving outside of your comfort zone is one thing I learned from my training as an actor in England.
Take the job or the project that scares you a little. It's the one with the most to teach you.
If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.
When I go to the mountains, I intuitively know my place in the world much better through these experiences. The more intense they are, the better I know myself, and the more I am able to challenge myself.
It's not only the most difficult thing to know one's self, but the most inconvenient.
I want to keep on the move, keep stimulated and challenged.
I will guarantee you that the day you step outside your comfort zone by making success your goal is the day you discover that adversity, risk, and daring will make life sweeter than you ever imagined.
I love challenging myself, doing different things, and exploring different areas that I haven't been to or gone to before.
I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.
It's when you begin to think about going to your dream that your dream is always outside of your comfort zone. It's always beyond what you've ever done.
You have to try things! You have to jump off the edge and run through your fear.
The concept of getting out of my routine, mixing it up, and pushing myself to live the grittiest life is something I try to incorporate every day.
What I always do in times of trouble or stress is to try and do something I don't know how to do.
I guess I'm breaking out a little of what's comfortable and easy.
Devote today to something so daring even you can't believe you're doing it.
I'm a big believer in trying to challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things. I was petrified of sharks in the ocean so I got certified in scuba because I don't like settling for being afraid of things and being uncomfortable with things.
