Lyn, my friend, will be cross country moving by next month. She was offered a very good opportunity she can’t pass up and have decided to accept it. But the opportunity requires her to relocate. She was hesitant at first because she’s grown accustomed to her place but then she realized that opportunities like that come once in a lifetime, she might as well get out of her comfort zone and take the risk.

I admire her for that. I hate taking risks. Especially a big one like the risk she’ll be taking. I hate losing, failing. I’d rather stay in my comfort zone, thank you very much. But there are days when I’ve been thinking if I’ve been passing on so many opportunities because of this fear.
