Far too many shrink from taking the steps and embracing the risks when the opportunity comes knocking. It comes in various guises. Leaving a job to work for yourself. Starting a business. Emigrating. Following a lover to the end of the earth. Retraining for another career. Giving up security and following a calling to be a performer or a sportsperson. Leaving home. Bringing children into this world. Changes to your health.

Telling the story of routes to fulfillment through trial and tribulation and self-doubt and personal cost and gritty determination can be elevating and inspirational for ordinary people.
