I've watched brilliant people stall out not because of what's in front of them but because of what they never closed behind them. The loop stays open because carrying it feels familiar. And familiar has a sneaky way of feeling safe.
You are absolutely right. Familiar is what we know so we attach because it feels safe, but when related to failure and even comfort, a safe job but not good for you, is a very "sneaky way of feeling safe". With awareness and presence you can decide to change that. When you do, liberation from the past comes. Is an awesome feeling.
