The new Marie Claire cover girl shared some poignant words of wisdom - and we're taking them to heart

Kristen Stewart is about to turn 24 next week, but she's clearly wise beyond her years.

After spending the past the past several years building a hugely successful film career and navigating the ups and downs of a very public relationship, the actress has learned a thing or two. And now she's ready to share her knowledge.

In the May issue of Marie Claire, our new cover girl offers up a bit of valuable life advice - and we can't help but take heed.

For her, finding success is all about taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone. And that often means making decisions that frighten her.

'If it's not scary, it's usually - you kind of have to step back and go, "You're probably making this decision because it's right on paper,"' she says. 'But unless you get that irking fear, it's not right.'

During her sitdown with MC, Kristen also dished about her closest friends and her totally refreshing outlook on love. For the full interview, pick up the May issue of Marie Claire on newsstands now.
