Friends are lovely and comforting, however, they seldom push you beyond the comfort zone that you live in. If you do try to move beyond that zone, often, friends will be the first to tell you, in your best interest of course, that you will fail in this new venture.
Generally, we humans are not about being safe. We humans are not about being fool hardy, but we do like our adventure. THAT is why so many people are willing to try adventure vacations, extreme sports, and all the other very extraordinary things that are out there for us to do.
Moving beyond safe keeps us alive because, every day, we renew our interest in life.
Blessings to all!
