What I have learned through life is the fact taking learned/calculated/planned risk is the best thing you can do for your sanity. Being comfortable exists when you are not ambitious enough or when you think what you currently serves your purpose. For me, I am being ambitious in multiple ways. I am comfy with the job i have but being ambitious with my crypto engagement and new ideas.
This is something like I have at the moment, though I was just thinking, I seem to put an urgency on everything I do.... Maybe having a bit of a safety net will reduce that?
It is also about mindset, I think. Nothing is permanent when it comes salaried engagement. It is what we choose. For instance, my wife always complains that she is super busy and would enjoy days where she does not need to do anything. To be honest, she is most cranky and annoying when she has nothing to do. In that sense, putting urgency on everything you do could be your way of performing or addressing the risk you anticipate in your other job. For me, the new engagement is to satisfy my ego.
