Stepping Out In Faith

Taking risks. Leaving the job or career where we are "comfortable" but uninspired or just plain bored. Asking someone out on a date, risking rejection. Agreeing to go on a date, risking rejection. Leaving a relationship that is "comfortable" when we know it is time to go in our heart of hearts. Giving the keys to the car for the first time to that newly minted teenage driver. There are many more, some, like trying a new restaurant or hair color, having decidedly less lasting impact than some of the above, but taking risks is part of life. Without taking risks, nothing changes. Einstein went against the orthodoxy and changed the world of physics forever. Edison and Bell failed more times than they succeeded, yet they are hailed as two of the greatest inventors of all time. They all stepped out in faith, risked, believing there existed a new way or approach, a different way of looking at things, leading to material and intellectual progress, in fact, changing the world.

We must stay open to the winds of change in our lives. There is a voice in all of us, the voice of the Miraculous, that sings to us, encourages us, fuels our dreams and aspirations. Most, unfortunately will opt for the safe, the comfortable, and fail to heed its call, choosing to watch the play rather than become part of it. So, just for today, take a risk, order something different from the menu or try a new restaurant, take the scenic route, sing out loud in the car or dance around the house. When we do these small things daily, we begin to demonstrate over fear, and once fear is conquered, who knows, you just may change the world.
