You never know how much you really believe anything
until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.
It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound
as long as you are merely using it to cord a box.
But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice.
Wouldn’t you then first discover how much you really trusted it?
Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief.

YES!! We need to take greater risks!
Even if the risk fails... "Failure underwrites success!"
Thus, if we want to succeed, we need to fail. If we want to fail, we need to risk!
We learn, we live, and our dreams become reality!
So this just hit me... I have been really hesitant about being real with people, with talking about church and Jesus and stuff... mostly because I don't like to fail... but what you and Keith just said hit me! I need to FAIL... I need to fail to succeed...
thank you for giving me the hope in failure: Success!
