Quote: “If it doesn’t cost you your life…”

“If it doesn’t cost you your life, it isn’t a quest.”  From Seth Godin’s The Dip

I like this, and I don’t.  It is true that sometimes in life we have to take a leap of faith.  But this also potentially smacks of taking leaps without preparation.  Where is the “plant, cultivate, harvest” perspective?  What about just doing the work, day in and day out?

What do you think?
