“We want to fly safely in a way that we're not going to kill ourselves, but that we will be proud of what we've done. And the first step is generating that possibility.” -David Wood We are all afraid to take risks! That’s how our reptilian brain is wired. But believe it or not, we are taking risks every single day of our lives. Crossing the street, driving your car, making decisions, and even cooking your meals- everything presents risks. In life, however, there are bigger risks we have to take to get to where we want to go. But the first step is to make sure we are taking “good” risks.
