Stop being a Goldilocks, not too hot, not too cold, just, right. Unless you’re willing to risk getting involved you’re not going to know what you’re good at. The road to success is never mistake-free. But then, neither is the road to failure. The choice is yours. If you are not smarter than most people, be willing to work harder than most. Success stems from the ability to question prevailing wisdom. If you can figure out that it is wrong, you are likely to make a lot of money.
Rick Warren who wrote ‘Purpose Driven Life’ said: ‘I could have taken a hundred gift and ability tests as a young man and would never have discovered that I was gifted at teaching, because I had never done it! It was only after I began accepting opportunities to speak that I saw the results, received confirmation from others and realised God has gifted me to do this.’
Take a good look at your life and decide to make it count. It’s very scary to take risks and try new things. You may think, ‘What if I fail?’ What if you do? It won’t be your first mistake. And no matter how bad it is it probably won’t be your worst either. One thing you can count on, whatever happens you’ll grow up; in wisdom, experience and character. Basically, you’ll be wiser for just having a crack at it.
