Wanting to be at the edges simply means that you are stretching the boundaries of what you can do, where you can contribute and how much difference you can make. If you are at the center, you will be following the crowd - that is what is familiar. At the edges, there are not many people to follow - you walk the untrodden path. And yes, it requires you to use all the power you have - because the reptilian brain won't let you go to the "unfamiliar" easily. Best, Rajesh Mossad,

In a “safe” or sandbox environment there was no need to take big risks. In fact, taking risks would not be rewarded.

There's a process of self-growth called "Focusing," developed by Eugene Gendlin, whose latest approach is actually called "Thinking at the Edge." Dr. Kathy McGuire calls her approach "Creative Edge Focusing." Although being at the edge is not a new concept, your post is a good reminder to stay alive and open, and to stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zone. Thanks.

My question is, how to get to the edge? I can only imagine to take more risks, follow my gut, test myself, and put myself into check if I am following something else. What are some suggestions from other people? I am not at the edge of the knife, and I know that the center is comfortable and easy to wake up to in the morning.

What are some suggestions from other people?

There is also another zone between the "center" and "edge". I don't know exactly how to explain it. But, there are folks (may be just me? :-) ) who are neither at the center nor at the edge. (or) They are constantly jumping between edge and center. You've given all the strong reasons and motivations for me to give an attempt to constantly stay at the "edge". Rajesh,
