personally i'm terrified of mis-steps. But I'm also terrified of the results of trying to get over myself and not be terrified. Sigh.
But the silver lining is that at least if I make a mis-step or otherwise attempt to do something I would consider to be somehow 'wrong' it at least adds some color to my life. It is so dreary, trying to do the 'right' thing all the time. Sigh.

Aged 30, just as the great financial crisis was beginning, and we were going into recession, I quit my job, gathered all my savings, and went to university to study psychology - something I always wanted to do.
It paid off in one sense, because I earned a first class degree, and was on track for a promising career in academia, having published my dissertation research in two places and gaining employment as a junior researcher at the local university.
But it didn't pay off in another sense because I became utterly disillusioned with the university environment, and the direction it was heading, so I left, and decided to go drive trucks instead. Thirteen years later I'm still driving trucks, and never did use my degree for anything careerwise.
However, despite never using it to earn a living, it did expand my intellect more than I could ever have hoped. So in a personal sense it totally paid off. I'm glad I did it. I also gained a few friends who, 9 years after graduating, I'm still friends with.

Ahhh Bluto, I'm so glad I read your post!
I think many people can probably relate to what you wrote!
What you wrote caused me to pivot my attention actually, having recently had a similar experience.

Saving my son from drowning. I am not a good swimmer, I can barely keep myself above water. I saw my son had gone too far and was starting to sink. I dashed out into the water not knowing what I was doing. It was too far for me also. I practically drowned trying to help my son. He climbed on my back put his arms around my neck and I had to swim back. I barely made it. At one point I was so tired I wanted to give up but knew what would happen if I did. I kept pushing on.... I guess I made it because I'm speaking about it now. It scared the hell out of me.

Biggest risky decision made based off of intuition?
I had a hunch that bit coin was going to be the next big thing
This was back in 2017 and decided I wanted to invest my life savings into it and take the risk
I'll let you do the math on how big that decision ended up being
When I made this decision it was 1400 a coin
And at it's peak it was about 72000 a coin
So it was a good decision
