High Risk...the road to success?
Taking high risks when it comes to purpose seems unavoidable. Whenever I have listened in on a famous individual getting interviewed who has done something impactful within our culture, I always hear them talk about the risks that they had to take in order to reach their level of success.
Now as someone who has not yet reached success, just the thought alone of me possibly having to take a high risk on this road to purpose is jarring to me. I don't come from a family who is known for taking high risks. A lot of the decisions made within my family has been based on making sure we were all secure and stable and not that there's anything wrong with that but I am beginning to see how making decisions for the sake of wanting security and stability can sometimes also be paralyzing.
I've learned over the years that the constant need to make decisions based on stability and security can also be a form fear. I am learning that if you always make decisions based on stability and security it's because you always want to be in on the know how of everything. The idea of not knowing how something is going to happen can be nerve-wracking ( I can see why the Bible tells us to walk by faith and not by sight).
for some taking a high risk might be leaving home and going to another city and starting over, or starting a new career that's you don't feel qualified for so forth and so on.
All I can keep thinking is that maybe taking risks has it's on reward and lessons. I'm learning that you can't be afraid fail. You can't be afraid to feel uncomfortable for a season so you can reap an unimaginable and an insurmountable harvest.
So if you're like me and you have found yourself convicted over the fact that you haven't taken the high risk that you know you need take so you can kickstart your way into purpose by all means, I pray and hope that you find the courage and capacity to do it.
As I work my way towards taking the high risk necessary for my journey I hope you'll take the risk with me.
