“Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” -Unknown

It’s one of life’s ironies that stepping outside your comfort zone can open the door to unimaginable happiness, but the initial discomfort evokes the exact opposite feeling. Little in life is more terrifying than making a change–and little is as exciting.

Most people regret things they didn’t do more than things they did. Opportunities they lost, or chances they didn’t take because they were uncertain, nervous, or just plain stubborn.

Today if you have a choice between taking a well-trodden path or paving a new way, remember: to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
