5-1-5: The Risk of Playing Small Is Bigger Than Failing

Playing small is the biggest risk

by DiIvory Edgecomb July 16, 2025

5 Mindset Moves

You won’t be punished for dreaming too big—but you will suffer for thinking too small.

Playing safe protects your ego, not your future.

Failure teaches. Playing small hides.

One gives you data. The other delays your destiny.

Boldness doesn’t guarantee success—but playing small guarantees nothing.

Take the shot. Miss it. Learn. Reload.

Your comfort zone isn't a sanctuary—it's a silent killer of potential.

It feels cozy because it’s killing your standards slowly.

Your people need the version of you that’s brave, not perfect.

Someone’s breakthrough is waiting on your courage
