Taking risks can be so unsettling, can’t it? Sometimes when we’re faced with the choice to take a leap of faith or play it safe, we hold back because of fear.
In some cases, fear can be healthy. Sometimes we’re really NOT ready to take that leap of faith.
But other times fear can keep us from following the dreams in our heart. It can keep us from moving forward. It can prevent us from achieving anything worthwhile. And it can turn our lives into a stagnant pool of negative expectations.
And you know what happens with negative expectations: the very energy and focus we devote to them encourages them to grow.
When you are faced with a choice between leaping forward and playing it safe, it can be helpful to consider two things:
1) What do you stand to gain by taking the leap?
2) What do you stand to lose if it doesn’t work out like you hope?
Are you willing to face the consequences either way? Think about the worst thing that could happen, and ask yourself if you could handle it.
If your answer is yes, then you’ve got nothing to lose. 
Why not go out on a limb? That’s where the fruit is. - Mark Twain
