What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward I’ve heard people say. Bold moves makes a bold life and other quotable lines. I envy those people! It takes alot to live authentically and work towards big goals no matter the line of obstacles in front of you.

I’ve never been a risk taker. My idea of risk would be choosing a different meal on a takeaway menu, afraid to stray away from “my usual”. What if I don’t like it? Ah but I wonder how I can get even an ounce of that spark that those successful, assertive types have. Jumping in, being scared but doing it anyway. Making tough decisions because you know it’s better in the long run. I know what I should be doing… I’m old enough to know better and young enough to go out and do it. Things are changing. I’m changing. Things are starting to “click” and I’m dipping my toes into more novelty. Small steps but I remind myself that forward is forward. Marginal gains add up to alot over time.
