What makes this observation worthwhile isn't the familiar advice to think bigger, but rather the recognition that fear is a reliable *compass* for the boundary between fantasy and genuine ambition. A dream that doesn't frighten you hasn't truly asked anything of you—it's more wish than goal. When someone decides to leave stable employment to start a business, the proper fear isn't about the dream itself but about what pursuing it demands: months of uncertainty, the possibility of disappointing people who believed in them, the humbling discovery of how much they don't know. That specific, uncomfortable fear is actually the sign you're aiming at something real enough to change you.
