Trouble is most humans will do more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure.
Many are stuck in the "comfort-zone", which actually isn't a comfort zone at all.
Suggest you start dreaming again! Here's my favourite self-development question:-
"What would you choose to do if you knew you could not fail?". Suggest you spend some time on this and write the answers down. My belief is that whatever your answer to this question is you are capable of doing.
Also, how about getting some life coaching?
