To live life fully, you must be willing to take some risks. Being a little too risk-averse carries its own dangers, because someone who avoids failure or rejection at all costs can wind up feeling safe, but unsatisfied. Having the courage to stretch beyond your usual comfort zone by trying something new can be very rewarding, and can increase your happiness.

Self discipline will benefit your personal development journey. Learn to exercise restraint over the desires of the flesh to achieve a higher level of self control. Avoid desires like greed, lust, drunkenness, and over-eating. With proper self control you can stop vices from negatively impacting your body and mind.

It shouldn't be scary to make big changes in your life. Just think of all of the benefits it has to your overall well-being and all of the happiness you can provide yourself by taking charge and changing your life for the better.
