In response to the comment in my previous post:
I am discussing a psychological break from the confines of my condition, not a literal tossing away of any sort of financial support structure that I may have. I respect my background and do not wish any other. We only live life once and I will always continue to pursue my own betterment, but life is also not about only making the safe choices, it is about taking risk and striving for things that are not readily available or easily obtained. My point was that those who come from little have an easier time to take those risks compared to someone of a similar background to mine that suffers from a psychological aversion to making any choices that could potentially place them in a situation that threatens their way of life but has the potential to enhance it tremendously. I merely only wish to throw off that psychological confinement and free myself to contemplate choices that are not simply readily available and easy to pursue but look deeper and further at a more expanded list of opportunities and possibilities that are not just the safe choices but also have a risk factor. The accomplishments in life that are the hardest to obtain are the ones that bring the greatest fulfillment.

Now what im getting from you is that (1) you seek more risk in your life and (2) gave an analysis that people who doesnt have too much to lose may take those risks more lightly, as opposed to those who may stand to lose more if some of those same risks were taken.
You wish to break that pyshological barrier by adding more risks so that you may enjoy your accomplishments or whatever endeavors you choose to partake in.
My analysis (like im a doctor or something) is that you're feeling like you've lost the zest in the everyday life, you're looking for something more challenging in hopes that you'd find the outcome more satisfying, that you go through your to-do list systematically everyday w/out finding it fulfilling or meaningful. So you add more and more to that to-do list in search of something that would make you feel better about what you do. Am I correct in assuming so or have i completely missed the target?
