Playing it safe can be just that, secure. We will continue in a linear direction that will gain little attention or impact, both favorable and unfavorable.
Being bold requires risk, conviction, and courage. It may end in supposed failure or bring resounding success. Inevitably, it will always bring about advancement and progress. Bold decisions force alternate ways of thinking. They create inertia and can bring about radical change and important lessons. Are these all measures of failure?
What person or organization has not grown thanks to a bold approach or outlook? And who has ever greatly succeeded when playing it safe? Being brave does not entail being irrational or uncontrolled. It does not require a loss in thoughtfulness. Being bold will demand growth, and that is success in itself.
