words vs actions

there are so many instances in life where we come up with what we think are great ideas. we think that we need to act on these ideas.  we think that we need to fulfill our destiny by acting on these ideas.  we think that these ideas will take us away from the mundane lives we live and to the place where we will love what we do.  these are our dreams and we want to make them come true.  we see our life being full and satisfied.  we see a rainbow at the end of the tunnel.  we see closure in life being achieved.  but the problem is we don’t act on these thoughts.  we don’t act on these ideas.  we don’t act on these dreams.  we don’t act because we are afraid.  we don’t act because we are comfortable in our life and we don’t want to risk this level of comfort we have achieved.  we don’t act because we want the dream to come true, but don’t quite believe it is the path we should take.  we have doubt about going out on a limb.  so we don’t act.  we just dream.  and then we get old and die.  dream unfulfilled, but comfort kept intact.  what is more important at the end of the road –staying comfortable or taking risk and possibly fulfilling dream?  most will choose former –what will you choose?
