Most of the best stuff in your life will happen when you’re not safe. No one ever felt completely in control of their life the first time they had a child, or visited a totally unexplored location, or built the best invention of their life.
All the best stuff is over that line on the map. Make sure you’re stepping over it with some regularity. That also means making it a point to regularly prepare for danger – be sharp, be in shape, be equipped. Conduct your life in such a way that you’re okay with a little danger. Or a lot.
