I really don't take any at all. Sometimes I wonder what I have missed out on by not jumping out there and doing it. I wish I was more of a risk taker. I really don’t take any at all.

Especially now with more responsibilities with a family. Somewhere inside me, I feel I could be more successful if I would take some risks (especially career-wise)...but just the fear of the uncertain scares me to death! I am definitely NOT a risk taker!

Doesn't go with my laid back I want to be comfortable personality, but I love the thrill of taking risks. Life would be so boring if we didn't take risks. same ole, same ole. I don't enjoy falling flat on my face, but part of taking risks! The only way I have been able to overcome fear is by the Word and prayer. Having truth seems to help me deal with fear the best. I used to be TERRIFIED every time Jonathan would travel. Oh my! It was horrible. What I put that man through is embarassing! I would lay awake at night and repeat the same scriptures over and over and over and over. I don't know exactly when it happened but I realized with or without Jonathan God is going to provide. He'll never leave or forsake me. The End. He is faithful. Do you think being a risk taker and one who is able to embrace change is one in the same or do you think they are totally different?

Maybe just to overcome. Not sure. Scared to ask. (grin) I think God built fear into us for a reason. Maybe just to overcome. Not sure. Scared to ask. (grin)

I think there is also a fear of success that threatens me. (Don't ask me why success would scare me.) I'm starting to realize that fear is stupid and only holds me back. God has called me to do something. Something big in my eyes. And honestly, right now, I could care less if it succeeds or fails. Right now it's more about obedience. And really, that's what all our "risks" or decisions should be about.... (BTW, where do you think we got that self imposed competitive spirit?) ahem… yes, and yes! ;)
