A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.—J. A. Shedd.
This quote is very famous. It also conveys that safety and comfort zone can become a roadblock to serve one's purpose in life. You may avoid all the risks of a Voyage, but why do you dream of travelling?
The missing point is that a ship is never safe in the harbour; it gets rusted and scraped. So if there is risk in action, there is also a risk in in-action. The cost of doing nothing is not less than the cost of doing a new thing. There is no growth; there is no life. Safety and comfort zone brings irrelevance and thus extinction.
Happy Journey.
