Audacity can be linked to daring.
From the Latin audacĭa , audacity is daring or daring . The term can refer to doing something risky, daring, reckless or reckless . For example: "I didn't have the audacity to tell him what he deserves" , "If Ramiro is safe, it is thanks to the audacity of the rescuers" , "The young striker was audacious and asked for the ball at all times" .
Boldness can be viewed positively or negatively. In its positive aspect, audacity is a virtue that leads a person to the conviction that, despite the possibilities and risks, they can achieve a certain goal.
How to encourage boldness
There are people who at no time consider themselves possessors of audacity and who believe that it is time to work on a personal level to, at least, achieve certain nuances of it. This is why they establish that to achieve their objective they must carry out a series of tasks or exercises such as the following:
• It is important that a challenge or a small purpose be achieved daily.
• No less significant is the fact that it is recommended that in order to achieve audacity one must periodically take certain risks that cannot lead to experiencing far-reaching consequences.
• It is vital, in the same way, that the person begins to understand that not everything can be perfect, that one must accept that there may be a margin of error and that there are failures that are tolerable and understandable.
• Likewise, it is also recommended to start planning more. In this way, although risks are assumed, it will be done on the most solid basis possible.
Certain activities require audacity to carry out.
The term in sport
In addition to all this, it must be stated that audacity is a term that is used very frequently within the field of sports. And it is required that, to a large extent, the players of the different disciplines can count on it to achieve greater triumphs.
Specifically, within this area we talk about what has been called mental audacity , with which the athlete will be able to control his stress levels, will enjoy an area or area in which he feels comfortable on a personal and emotional level, and will improve your performance.
On the other hand, when audacity is misused or does not recognize limits, it becomes something negative. In this case, the subject performs unwise actions without any basis in reality.
The moderation of audacity
The moderation between a beneficial audacity and a harmful audacity must be given by reason . It is best that decisions linked to the impulse to be bold are made after calm and conscientious reflection.
If a person trains for two years to climb a mountain and decides to undertake the journey after having reached the top of other lower mountains and after undergoing various medical studies, one can speak of a bold and brave individual, but not reckless. It would be different if said person woke up one day and decided to become a mountaineer without any type of preparation or experience.
Audacity properly understood, in short, is linked to strength of spirit and willpower .
