Great reply, I often consider things that could potentially go wrong if I take a risk but I rarely consider the effects of doing nothing. Much scarier in my opinion
Yes definitely. One example I have of that is when I was in university I dreamed of going to Japan for an exchange year. But I was scared of it being too expensive for me to be able to pay for it. This fear held me back for 3 years not doing it. Until I actually checked for the first time how much it would cost instead of just following the vague "oh it will be too expensive" mantra I had until then. And turned out that it wasn't that expensive at all. So I postponed an incredible life-changing experience, for 3 years, just because I didn't evaluate the factual basis of my fears.
