"Excuse me," said the taper, "I'm blind - would you mind guiding me across the road?"
The first blind man took the arm of the second blind man, and they both crossed the road.
Apparently this is a true story. The first blind man was the jazz pianist George Shearing. He commented on this incidence “What could I do? I took him across and it was the biggest thrill of my life."
There are times when we think we cannot do something and so do not stretch or take a risk. Being forced to stretch and take a risk can often help us to reduce our dependencies (on others, or our own personal safety mechanisms), and to discover new excitement and capabilities.
Action Plan-
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase - that's what wild geese are for.
Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.
Bite off more than you can chew, then chew

Yes. Must get out of comfort zone and take risks to make my life more exciting. If I get killed, so what, it is only a life. Today I am going to swim with crocodiles and sharks. You really don't have to go to an aquarium or some national parks in Australia to do this..... There are crocodiles and sharks everywhere.
Actually I have already taken a big risk this morning...
By getting out of bed.
