Life = Risk

“If you’ve never failed…..you’ve never lived!” I’ll never forget “the big one” that my husband and I “bet the farm” on. It was our BIG RISK — we were going to become wealthy because of our investment in the drilling of an oil well. My husband and our young son, Ryan, stayed at the oil well — all day and all night, watching and praying, for us to “strike it rich”! But that time — it was not to be — it was a DRY well. Disappointed? Yes! Was it a huge risk? Yes! Did it stop us? No! We never quit on taking risks, and I sincerely believe that is one of the reasons why our family has met with so much success. Plenty of failures along the way — but it never stopped us from trying again.

Have you failed at something you so wanted to win at? Did others scorn you for taking a risk…..and, indeed, it was a loser? Have you wished you could step out in faith and become adventurous, but you kept hearing voices that said, “Give up!” “Throw in the towel!” “It’s too risky!” “You could lose everything!” “Play it safe!” Well, we are in good company! Please watch this short, 1 minute video about some GREATS who became GREAT because they didn’t listen to THOSE voices. I think you’ll have a renewed sense of “I will not quit! I’m not giving up! I am unstoppable and I will win!
