I used to be the queen of playing it safe – sticking to what I knew, staying comfortably within the lines, and doing everything in my power to avoid uncertainty. To me, risk was synonymous with chaos, and I liked things neat and predictable. That all changed after a sudden life change redefined my sense of normal.

You are never sure of something you are able to do until you do it and to take a risk even further you do stuff that will for sure challenge you and make you put the work and effort into a task or goal in life. When something is too easy or seems too good to be true it usually is. Most of the things you do will require a risk in life and the higher the risk the higher the reward and that means making the effort to put yourself forward and pursue what you want to do, so instead of wishing it could happen you can just make it happen.

I truly couldn’t do anything without Him—the lessons, the people, the talents, the knowledge—everything He’s brought into my life. I deeply appreciate all He’s shown me and how He’s helped me grow. Without God, I could only go so far. Without His love, grace, and strength, I wouldn’t have made it this far. Honestly, I would’ve given up a long time ago. Read More>>
