Choosing to ignore challenges led to regret

I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself. ~ Rita Mae Brown

In fact I have a feeling that more often than we realize the reluctance to pursue growth opportunities is less about those fears we talk about so often – fear of failure, change and success – than it is about the fear of no longer fitting in. After all, when those with whom you spend your time are content where they are, and you suddenly decide to rock the boat by reaching for something more – daring to stand out – that can sometimes make people very uncomfortable, especially if they harbor secret longings of their own they’ve never had the courage to pursue.

If you are at all self aware, there will inevitably come a turning point when you realize you can no longer ignore the inner tugging and you must choose; follow your own path and dare to be uncommon, or avoid change, ignore the challenge, and remain comfortable.

The problem is both of these choices involve great risk. It is true that if you risk change and challenging the unknown you may not succeed, in fact you may outright fail, though you surely will grow in the process. But choosing to ignore your inner desire may be the greatest risk of all, leaving you to spend the rest of your days wondering what might have been.

Sadhguru's Spinal step
If ur experience is determined by anything other than urself, u naturally avoid unpleasant experience and go after pleasant experience. Once u divide experience into two, then knowing the divinity becomes difficult.
In ur consciousness, if u divide the world then it is difficult to grab everything. Either everything is urs and nothing is urs.
Dividing the world is a survival mode.
Only if you can determine ur nature of ur inner experience then u can be truly inclusive.
Spine itself doesn't know anything but it is conducting everything. If u have a little mastery over how it is being conducted then u can live. If ur experience is accidental, then ur experience will be a calamity. Once the fear of what will happen is in ur mind, u no longer dare to experience life
