If we all could be a true friend to someone, praying and encouraging one person somehow, that's a first step in being part of making the world a better place.
What kind of husband am I gonna be if I can't even hold my wife's hand?

Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place. It's the high-anxiety zone, but it's also where you discover who you are.
One thing I gained in my life is just the need for more Jesus in my life. You never come to a place in your walk with Jesus where you feel like you've had enough. That's a dangerous feeling to have.
