The value of risk taking

In life you will find that everything we do that has a reward to it also involves some risk. There is no reward without risk. You cannot go from crawling to walking without the risk of falling down. When a baby decides that he does not want to crawl for the rest of his life, he will keep getting up and falling down until he learns how to walk. He would not be rewarded with walking or running if he did not take that risk.

If you want to date you have to risk rejection and ask somebody out first. It may take six to seven times before someone says yes but you will have your reward when they do. You have to take risks to reap rewards. I remember I was rejected recently but I felt good and satisfied because at least I was brave to ask. I can’t image anything worse than not risking it. What I do know is I will step out again and again and each time learning and growing and eventually a door will open.

God wants you to get up and take some risks so he can help you. His word says that he will guide your steps but he cannot guide your steps if you are sitting on your behind. Step out and move a little and God can direct you and guide you into some areas you need to take risks so that you will gain great rewards.


Remember we are all waiting for you to step out and pour out you gifts and talent. You are not going to fly without risking the fall. You already have wings why don’t you just flap them and begin to fly. I sense some reading this blog have music that we long to hear, some have books that will transform and revolutionizine our thinking, and some have inventions that will change the world. Friends why don’t step out now and begin to take control of your destiny.
