"If you want to fell secure, do what you already know how to do.
But if you want to grow . . . go to the cutting edge of your competence, which means a temporary loss of security.
So . . . whenever you don’t quite know what you are doing, know that you are growing. "
Knowing you might fail and knowing you won't fail is a huge difference when it comes to taking risks - isn't it?
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.

If I knew I could totally succeed -- I'd take early retirement and write a novel. Of course, I can still work on a novel, just no guarantee it would get published.
There is a big difference of risk between knowing we would succeed and maybe succeeding - right?
I like the quote from Abraham Lincoln. My favorite Lincoln quote is "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Our minds are a terrible thing to waste.
I like the idea of early retirement and novel writing! But, I can't do either, so I keep on keepin on!
You and me both sista!
Hmmmm.... great question.... I guess I would have to say persue the singing career that I always dreamed of...
