In his book "Leading with a Limp," Dan B. Allender suggests that individuals who play it safe and adhere to the conventional ways of living lack the thrill and depth that come from engaging fully in life's experiences. These people tend to remain passive, waiting for dynamic leaders to inspire them and create narratives that capture their imagination.

This passivity prevents them from living out their own compelling stories, as they rely on others to take risks and lead the way. Allender emphasizes that true fulfillment and adventure come from embracing vulnerability and taking action rather than waiting for external motivation.
