Reality Check
Plain and simple.....Life is full of risks, and chances. Those who never take on the possible pain that comes from accepting risk (albeit measured and evaluated) will always be the ones who look back at "what could have been" and pity themselves the boring and unfulfilling lives they chose.
Once we decide to actually LIVE our lives,and walk a path that leads to adventure and experience we are well on our way to happiness, though pain and hurt are a part of happiness when it comes down to it as you can't have one without the other....period.
If it feels like a worthwhile experience....it likely is. And worst case scenario you look back a couple years from now and say "at least I tried".
