Thank you for the thoughtful post. I enjoyed your post and think that your point is valuable. I personally feel comfortable living in the grey areas of life. I have friends that need to fit in and conform. I personally think that following the inner voice that is whispering to make change in ones life is the correct messenger to listen to. Change is scary as you so well pointed out, especially when one is comfortable and the basic needs are being met. I have put myself into extreme situations in my life, for example when I was 25 I sold or gave away all my belongings, quit my job and hitchhiked around America for 3 years. I am now 42 and have 3 kids so my days of extreme choices are over but I don't regret putting everything on the line to follow my inner voice.
