What is worry?
Short three letter question but are you confident in how to answer it? Is it fear?
No, fear is what blocks opportunity. I once heard someone smart say the devil only places fear in front of a door that he knows you won't fail at. So fear is an emotion that holds you back or blocks you from going down a path potentially.
I'd also recommend that if you are looking at an opportunity today and you feel fear to ask your self if you knew failure was not an option how would you react? Then do it NOW! You may say, "Well Stacy you don't know my situation." You are right but we can never change the pain of regret in the future.
...So this takes us back to our original question. What is worry? It is my belief that worry is something we often experience as we walk through opportunity before we achieve our destination. It's taking tomorrow's problem or the problem from next week or next year and assuming that it's going to happen today. A problem which may never actually occur. We shoulder that burden usually by saying "What if".
The result often times is that we will choose a new path to walk down and get off our path of opportunity. Today I encourage you to not let fear hold you back or let worry get you off track.
You can do it!

What Controls Your Success?
Where do you find yourself right now? In this moment as you read this have you obtained the level of success you've wanted? Have you helped as many people as you had hoped that you could have by now? Has your strategic plan that you looked to achieve while you where in high school planning for college actually happened 5, 10, 20 years later? Is life as fun as you expected it to become, is it easier? Are you at the top of your game? Are you exactly where you want to be right now?
If nothing happens by chance and if success isn't by luck then what is stopping you? For anyone who would believe that success is based off of luck then I would argue what about all the lottery winners that where lucky and then bankrupt in a few years. What? You don't think that would happen to you? Neither did they! If you knew exactly how things would turn out then you probably would be in a different place today then where you are now!
The reality is you can either argue the above statements or you have a high level of leadership and you can accept them. The fact is the vast majority of us fall into those scenario's myself included. BUT, just because life is not where we want it right now does not mean we have to accept it. It does not mean we have to be lulled into accepting what we are not happy or comfortable with as our life. We can improve our circumstances. Circumstances never control the outcome! It's what you do in those circumstances that determine where you end up!
You can make a logical argument that ever successful person took risk in their life. They where not paralyzed in fear! Some how when we face a situation we make a decision that "seems" safe. Has your pass track record proven that those decisions are working for you? Every opportunity is realized by a calculated risk taking place. Here is the truth every time you take a risk you've given yourself a new opportunity period!
The only thing that you can do to activate your risk and provide a new opportunity for you IF you are not happy with where you are. Taking ACTION is the only thing that will activate your faith and create an opportunity for you. The Bible talks about faith without works is dead. Without taking risk you are never acting in faith. Right now there are some things going on in your family, marriage, work or school; you know there are some actions you must take but you are allowing fear in the way of your faith! So ACT NOW!
