Take risks. Take them as often as possible, in as extreme a degree as possible, and with as little hesitation as possible. This doesn't mean 'do stupid things' or 'recklessly put your life in danger' or 'rob a bank because a blog told me to and it's a nice rush'. Your risks should be calculated, and can be tiny at first. 'At first' because some may need to start with baby steps, before moving on to the 37-foot-jump-through-a-flaming-hoop kind of thing.
Planning out something risky and following through with it can feel like an achievement. The smallest of risks can feel like large accomplishments, and the largest of risks can leave you with life-changing experiences.
We avoid risks in life because, well, they're risky. If you've ever sat down and thought about your past and where your life is headed, you've probably wished that life was more interesting, or that you would have done something you were afraid to do. This is called regret, and in order to achieve any sliver of perpetual euphoria, it should be eliminated from your life.
I'm stopping here because large bodies of text can be daunting, and I'd like people to actually read this rather than skim over the page and call it a day. Summary: don't stress about what could happen, take a chance, and look forward to what will happen.
