Risk takers

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained"

"Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion"- Amos 6:1

I have come out of 2010 thinking time surely waits for no man, without my permission time has forged ahead. I was reminded of the movie "The bucket list" two terminally ill individuals who produce a list of things that they would like to do before they kick the bucket.

"Whoever watches the wind will not plant, whoever looks at the clouds will not reap" - Eccl 11:4

Throw caution to the wind and take risks, do what you have always wanted to do, you only live once " go for it." Go on get involved in something bigger than you. take some risks. If you don't succeed at least you know that doesn't work and you look for a way that does.

James Dyson, the inventor of the cyclonic vacuum cleaners, could not get distributors and manufacturers for his invention, but now outsells the very companies that rejected  him. I once heard kirk Franklin (christian artist) say that he had received more nos than yeses in his life and yet stands out as a successful artist


Risk takers make the news, they are the eccentric people who don't exactly fit in but gain enormous strides in their efforts. Michael Jackson took a risk in producing the music video for thriller, it was longer than most music videos, a whole lot more gory, the dancing was more risque, but is probably the greatest musical video ever.

My message for 2011 is take risks

BE THAT CHAMPION!!!
