The problem with most of us is that we don't attempt things that could end in failure, few of us truly test our limits. Think about it, when was the last time you were truly at the end of your rope? I don't mean emotionally, because we can drive our minds to the edge of madness over a blade of grass. I mean physically so wiped out that you are falling over, and it takes everything in your power just to put one foot in front of the other. Or to be so mentally drained that you cannot even remember a conversation that took place an hour ago. Few of us truly live our life that close to the edge. I'm not saying that it's healthy to live that way every day, but I believe that it's equally unhealthy to go several days without challenging yourself. If your lucky you won't have to look for a challenge, life will give it to you. If I could, I would encourage you to have several areas of your life where you are growing. This is not about other people, it is about you. How can you change the world if you are spending every day becoming the same person that you were yesterday? I believe that you need to grow, and grow daily. For most of you, I don't need to bother challenging you to pray and read your bible. But there are other spheres. Your passions, your work, family, gift and talents are all to be developed to the best of your abilities.
So get off the couch, rock the boat, get in over your head, and bite off more than you can chew.
