The known is often the easier, more comfortable & safer no matter the situation, good or bad, than facing the unknown. This thought came to mind a lot during the time I worked with victims of domestic violence. (One of the passions of my life-ending domestic violence.)
The fear of the unknown, the comfort of the known-no matter how horrible-is often the choice people make in their lives, no matter the situation whether they are bad, such as abuse, or good, such as choosing to go to college or change careers, often traps people from exploring opportunities presented in life and taking a chance.
The fear of the unknown keeps many people from reaching their potential. Both at work and plan, business and personal. Many to aren't certain of the outcome, don't have the courage to get in the game and lose out by default!!
