Take Risks and Create Miracles

"I'm in love with the potential of miracles. For me, the safest place is out on a limb." - Shirley MacLaine

 

Miracles happen more often than we think, but we have to be open to their possibilities to experience them. Accepting the possibilities of miracles involves taking some risks.

 

Taking a risk to achieve a goal requires courage to face the fear of uncertainty. No matter what the outcome, either way, we grow through the process and become more resilient and confident. Better yet, building those skills helps in taking more risks and improves the chances of achieving future goals.

 

We can't find our true calling if we don't risk being rejected. We can't fall in love if we're not willing to risk being hurt. We can't make a difference in the lives of others if we're afraid to take a chance or make a sacrifice. You miss 100% of the shots you never take.

 

We tend to view risk-taking negatively, often regarding it as dangerous and even unwise. But while some risks certainly don't pay off, it's important to remember that some do. Keep your eyes open for any miracles that come your way. They will, if you let them.

 

The only way we can experience miracles is if we live courageously. The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open and take some risks. It's going to require we step out of our comfort zone.

 

To experience little miracles, get a little uncomfortable. To experience huge miracles, get really uncomfortable. The size of our miracles depends on what we're willing to do to make them happen.

 

If you are not willing to take a risk for something extraordinary, you end up settling for the ordinary. You may avoid suffering and sorrow if you don’t risk, but you simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing and has nothing. Only a person who risks is free. That risk that you are afraid to take could change your life. 

 

Do something every day that scares you a bit. Feel the fear and take action anyway. Then prepare for miracles to happen in your life. Don't just be all that you can be. Become more than you ever thought you could be!

 

Make today great!
