What Stunt Drivers Can Teach Us About Taking Risks

They drive through flames, they jump over canyons, and they speed through crowded streets on the big screen. Stunt car drivers take a lot of risks on a daily basis to do their jobs. However, if the profession never existed, our movies would lack the action-packed and thrilling scenes we all enjoy. They’d be quite boring with little difference between this action movie and the next.

The truth is that taking risks can have huge payoffs in the right situations. While of course, there are some situations where risk can be dangerous — like risky driving or risky behavior. However, leaving your comfort zone can help you grow as a person and open up new opportunities.

Who could be more qualified to teach us lessons about risk-taking than the daredevil stunt drivers themselves? Check out these 9 risk-taking lessons put together by The Zebra to show you when to play it safe and when to take a chance.

From moving to a new city or changing your career path, consider areas of your life that could use a little risk.
