Life is often lived within the boundaries of comfort and routine. And, of course, this can be helpful in establishing rhythms and creating systems that keep the world going around and around every day. But, sometimes, those comfort zones can lull folks into a sort of sleepy state that often keeps people from living up to their full potential.
After all, how is it possible to know what kind of opportunities are out there if risks are never taken?

Do Something Risky
Living on the edge is a very personal and unique situation. For some, it might mean signing up for those sky-diving lessons. For others, it might mean asking the person they have a crush on to get a cup of coffee with them or go on a date. For still others, this might mean a job change, a move to another country or climbing a literal mountain. So whatever that thing is that has been lingering out there as a dream, National Take a Chance Day is the perfect time to do it!
