I know just what you mean, Trudy; I’m not a natural risk-taker either. To get outside my comfort zone takes a shove. 🙂 But I know the rewards are usually worth it so that helps. Have a great weekend!

What a blessing that you are close with your mom’s friend and could talk to her in that way. That’s a huge blessing that not everyone has. Thanks for sharing this, Sarah.

If you do read The Power of Moments, I hope you get as much out of it as I have, Maryleigh. I’ve found it to be thought-provoking for a lot of different areas. I have it on my Kindle but I wish I had a hardback because I think my husband would benefit from it as well, applying it to work situations. I tell him bits and pieces but I don’t do it justice. 🙂

I’m jealous of people who are natural risk-takers like you, Floyd. I have a lot to learn in that area. I love your family adage—I’ll have to remember that for myself and pass it along to others because it takes some of my fear away.

“Failing to try is just that; failing.” Love that too.

Risk-taking doesn’t come naturally to me either, Bethany. I’d rather just stay in my comfort zone. 🙂 But some of my most life-changing moments have come directly from taking risks, so I know it’s an important thing to do, even though it scares me.

Exactly, Debbie. Sometimes we think we’ve failed if the outcome isn’t what we expected, but if we’ve grown from the experience, it counts as a success. Hindsight is helpful in those cases. 🙂

Good for you in stepping outside of your comfort zone, Joy. It’s not always easy to do, especially for some of us (like me!). 🙂 Praying you will see some unique and unexpected blessings come to you soon.

Oh, Made to Stick is one of my very favorites! I’m glad to hear you read it also, Debbie. I really resonate with the subject matter and the way that the Heath Brothers write their books. I’ve enjoyed every one they’ve written in the past few years. It’s usually practical things that I can apply to real life.
