Enterprising has picked up commercial connotations, but they are all closely related to the adventurous idea of its etymology:
"eager to undertake, prompt to attempt," 1610s, present participle adjective from the verb enterprise (late 15c.),
from the noun enterprise.
early 15c., "an undertaking," formerly also enterprize,
from Old French enterprise "an undertaking," noun use of fem. past participle of entreprendre "undertake, take in hand" (12c.),
from entre- "between" (see entre-) + prendre "to take," contraction of prehendere (see prehensile).
Abstract sense of "adventurous disposition, readiness to undertake challenges, spirit of daring" is from late 15c.
from etymonline.com emphasis mine
Enterprising captures most of adventurous with the added value of productive value and less of the daredevil connotations.
If adventurous seems to you to overshoot the mark you might try venturesome: per OED, “Of persons: Disposed or ready to venture or take risks; bold, daring; = VENTUROUS adj.”
I think outgoing is the most suitable word. It suggests being sociable and friendly but it is stepping out of your comfort zone in an extended sense. Another similar word is extrovert.
So you want to be outgoing? This may require you to step out of your comfort zone and do things that you would not normally do. You will need to talk more, try new things and enjoy life more. It is a great trait to have and allows you to experience life to the fullest and to enjoy everything that life has to offer.
