Identity Crisis: Part 3

There are two sides of risks. Before Risk (where we find security and safety), and after Risk (where we find a sense of achievement, excitement and freedom). On the before side of Risk, you will experience: * fear * trepidation * hesitation * anxiety * doubt * sweaty palms * excuses * research and analysis, followed by more research and analysis (aka PROCRASTINATION) * the status quo * temporary comfort * a dead-end job On the after side of risks, you will find: * glory * victory * elation * the exhilaration of truly living * satisfaction * faith in the miraculous * confidence * resilience * learning * courage to do it again * the opportunity to live your purpose Did you now, we ALL have the same choices in life? We can live on the before side of risks where we never take advantage of the opportunities to do something significant, meaningful or challenging with our lives. It's in this place that we'll often find ourselves making excuses and concocting seemingly reasonable explanations for living an ordinary life. It's in this place that we paddle in the shallow water with every other person who is bound by fear. Or we can choose to push through the risk and see life on the after side. This is the side where we can utilise our talents, make a difference and reflect on a life well lived. This is also the side where every now and then we wonder what all of the fuss was about and when we realise that most of the dramatic consequences of taking risks were just figments of our imagination. The side where we understand that we don’t get the courage we need beforetaking risks, we get it after we took the risk, building our faith and preparing us for the next one. Which side are you on? Which side should you be on? What risks do you need to take in order to feel FREE? JUST DO IT ....
