Great thought

Yet another great thought from All-Pro Dad:

Great men live by faith

Author John Eldredge writes: "Life is not a problem to be solved; it is an adventure to be lived. That's the nature of it and has been since the beginning when God set the dangerous stage for this high-stakes drama and called the whole world enterprise 'good.' He rigged the world in such a way that it only works when we embrace risk as the theme of our lives, which is to say, only when we live by faith."

In other words, if you're in a situation where you know you're not living up to your potential, but are too afraid to change, you're missing out. Great men take great risks... and if you're always playing it too safe, others around you may not take risks either. And, in life, to gain much you have to risk much.

Pick up John's book, Wild at Heart, here. And take a look at what Coach Tony Dungy has to say on the subject of stepping out of your comfort zone.

Ask yourself this question: Why is taking a risk sometimes important for succeeding?
