It will cost you nothing to dream, and everything not to

How often do you find yourself taking the familiar route or what is comfortable?

It's easy to play it safe because we can never fail. When we do what it's familiar it keeps us feeling comfortable and certain of the outcome.

Even your goals are smaller than what you're truly capable of. Keeping your gold small is another form of keeping you safe.
Your subconscious mind wants nothing more than to know that you are safe from harms way. It truly does have your best interest at heart. 

Because of this, 
You avoid disappointment.
You avoid experiencing fear.
You avoid stepping into the unknown.

In the end, you've lost nothing EXCEPT LIVING.

I do not know about you, but I would rather live! So how do you do that when you are afraid to take the leap? 
Retrain your subconscious mind to know that it is safe to step into the unknown.

Try this: 
Start with something small. Do not shoot for the biggest risk you can take. Sure it would feel amazing to go sky diving, but more than likely you will convince yourself that you are not ready - and you can't do it.

Stepping out of your comfort zone does not need to be so difficult. 

Here are some ideas: 
Start a conversation with someone at the coffee shop.
Take a new way home, without navigation. 
Spend a day by yourself walking around town. 
Do something that you never did before, that you know is just a notch above what feels like your norm.

Then repeat. 

By incorporating daily small changes into your life, you are teaching and retraining your subconscious mind that the unknown is safe and you will be ok
