Security vs taking risks...

Do we aim for security and stay there, or do we take some risks in life? This is such an interesting topic and may have a lot to do with genetics. I'm sure some of us are just born to live in a way that sees the bills paid each month, money in the bank and things well taken care of. Good enough and admirable for sure. Then there are those who must put it all on the line, stretch the comfort zone and try for something new, different, exciting and potentially scary. Enter the entrepreneurs, who bring us new discoveries and inventions (these two categories are not mutually exclusive of course. Einstein was a patent clerk, so he did both). Thing is, taking big risks usually involves the long view and maybe a few failures and red on the books for a sustained period. There is some evidence that entrepreneurs exhibit many sociopathic qualities because you have to be a little crazy to go down a path that shows little encouragement along the way ;) Beyond genetics, a lot of very successful people say it was a gut thing. They just believed in their idea. It was something they had to do. No matter what. I'm wondering if this applies to love as well. You meet someone and despite obstacles and fears, you just feel how you feel. You believe in this person, you know what you feel and you want to stand by them. No matter what.
