Taking leaps of faith is inevitable if you want to achieve meaningful goals in your life.

Especially in the 20s, there are a lot of people who play it safe instead of being high-risk on certain ventures they’d much rather be pursuing.

Even if the venture fails, valuable lessons will be learned along the way.

By not playing it safe, many people avoid something more intense later on in life, and that is regret.

Regret is something you wish you could have done but didn’t or vice versa. But in this case, it’s about something you decided not to do, and now it’s too late.

1. Not Doing What You Were Born to Do

Playing it safe and taking the route that our friends from high school also did like going to school and working a job that their parents wanted for them won’t lead to your true purpose.

Many people out there prefer to have someone else to do all the thinking for them and give them the blueprints of the life they’re going to live.
