There is a long list of reasons why we don't take risks. But not taking risk becomes a habit. 

In the spirit of Walt Disney, if your goal isn't impossible you are not reaching high enough. 

But shooting for impossible if you aren't used to taking risks won't work. How do you get to the place where risk-taking is a normal response?

You have to take time to develop habits and rituals. If you want to improve your life where it is much better in the future, taking a risk has to be an impulse. 

Motivation is the best way to move out of comfort and towards risk. A clear, concise, and compelling vision can drive risk. 

The reason people take risks is because they are in search of a better tomorrow. 

Waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self-destruction. 

Habits and rituals are changed slowly and steadily. Motivation is the driver behind making a change. 

Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself to do something amazing. Get started. Keep your goal small enough to be right in front of you. Eventually, it will become something amazing.
