The hardest thing in life is to not know a good thing when you have it.
The second hardest is to not throw it all away.
Be brave but not too much.
Be scared but not too much.
Everything in balance.
Sometimes you have to walk away from a new thing however good it looks in order to preserve the old, reliable, tried and tested. Motivational Bullshit gurus and "progressive" people will tell you to do this. Easy for them - the risk is your's.
Sometimes you have to walk towards a new thing however bad it looks and walk away from your comfort zone. Conservatives will tell you this as they are afraid of a change in the status quo - which is sometimes justified - not always.
Discretion is the better part of valor definition. Caution is preferable to rash bravery. Said by Falstaff in King Henry the Fourth, Part One, by William Shakespeare.
Sometimes you have to take risks which may bring losses. Never take risks where the loss can be huge or permanent - no matter how romantic or thrilling it seems at the time.
Experiments are good when the cost is low or the rewards are high - like for scientists (with funding) and media personalities. Always look for the risk to rewards ratio. Don't trust anyone who only sells you the risks or only the rewards.
Don't try to live the life of a celebrity even if you can - unless you are one. It's attractive and flashy but gives pain in the long run. Pain is good if you working towards something - not if you are losing something or have lost something.
