You could choose to stay in your house or apartment all the time.
Amazon and Door Dash. Work from home. Netflix. Only venture out when absolutely necessary. Mask on. Keep your distance. Never expose yourself to physical danger.
Is that living, or is that existing?
You could choose to stay in your comfort zone.
Go with what you know. Get a safe job. Stay. Only make a change if a change has been forced on you. Immediately find the quickest path back to your comfort zone. Say “no” to anything new or challenging. Never expose yourself to emotional danger.
Is that living, or is that existing?
As much as I wish it weren’t so, I see no other way to a life worth living without exposing oneself to physical and emotional danger. Physical and emotional injuries are coming. Regardless of how good you are at staying safe.
When I look in the mirror, I can see seasons in my life where I was good or bad at each. Whenever I made progress, it was because I pursued or at least embraced the danger.
The bottom line — life is worth the risk.
