Life is full of challenges, don't run away from them, face them. These challenges are placed in our lives to help us grow, to make us better people, and to teach us lessons to pass on to our future generations.
We could not have progressed as far as we have if there weren't people who stepped out of their safety zone to face the unknown, accept change, adapt to change, and build foundations from the things that they adapted to.
Take a risk or 2 everyday, but don't make stupid decisions, and watch your life blossom into something that you didn't think was possible.
"If you are not growing, you are slowly dying."

"If you play it safe in life you've decided that you don't want to grow any more."

How are you sabotaging your potential for change?
We unconsciously use defense mechanisms to shield us from situations we perceive to be scary or painful. A part of you may want to grow and change, but another part may be resisting because change always moves you into new territory in your thinking and emotions.
If you find you are getting anxious, fearful, angry, frustrated, dismissive or unmotivated, then defense mechanisms are at work. Watch for them and know them to be signs of fear that wants to hold you back. Then courageously move through them.
"I have never been contained except I made the prison."
