Dare to take risks in life

While preparing the food If you add ONLY salt or chilli powder will the food taste good? Anybody will answer this question as NO. Food tastes good if it has the right mixture of salt and masalas. Similarly, If life is filled with ONLY comfort and happiness life become meaningless. Life is a mixture of comfort and hardships and that makes it blissful.

When you have to reach the top of the staircase you have to start climbing it from down. Alike, there are many steps that you have to climb in your life to reach the goals of your life. You have to start climbing those steps from down and reach the top.

This course of journey is not at all easy. One has to take up these risks and face all the challenges that come along the way in order to reach the top and win.

We always wish for luxury, comfort and happiness in life but most of the time we are afraid of facing challenges and taking risks in life. Your comfort zone and success can never be friends. When you are in a comfort zone success runs away from you and when you are out of your comfort zone success runs closer to you. There is no shortcut route to reach your ambition.

Life is like a journey in the jungle where the road is narrow, filled with thorns and stones, many times stumbling and falling down, one cannot predict what happens the very next moment. Are you daring enough to travel this journey?

Taking risks in life, this reminds me of my mother. She studied every single class in 10 different places. She is the only child to her parents. The family was battling poverty and no own house to live in. Looking at their worst situation one person was gracious enough to help them and they said that he'll take care of her education and get her married as well. Unfortunately, that person died due to kidney failure. At that time no one was around to guide her. In her 10th grade she worked as a maid in one house and got one Idli for morning and one chapati for night . After finishing all the household chores she had to study and sleep. There were so many reasons for her to quit not only study but life. Still she took up the risks and relied on God. Amidst all those worst situations God blessed her with a Diploma in Medical Labtechnician.

When she got married to my father, people judged her based on her religion, face, skin colour and treated her as a curse to the family. Imagine if someone is teasing you every single hour and telling you that it would be better if you were not born. How do you feel? Facing poverty is better than facing this discrimination. This was the condition of my mother. One side she was working hard to bring food home, other side listening to those negative words every now and then. Everything seemed so black and white but there she found a light and that is God who is faithful and trustworthy and anybody can rest in him.

Biologically it is male who decides the sex of the baby but society blamed my mother for giving birth to two daughters but not a son. When my parents took many risks and decided to provide their daughters with the best education, their relatives questioned them and asked why are you spending so much on your daughters? They will be married and sent off to another family then what will be the use for your family? Kudos to those people who said this. Maybe they didn't understand the value of daughters and education at that time but surely they'll understand now where God blessed the daughter of the parents they teased to be a writer today at the age of 17. Glory to God and a big salute to my parents who risked their life and sacrificed many things to provide me the best education and taught me the values of life.

My mom was considered to be the curse to my family and society but God considered her to be a blessing to many. Through her medical service she has served many people and she is the founder and senior Pastor of Eternal Life mission where many souls found and experienced the true love of God and are led in truth and hope. To laid a foundation to something new is not an easy task. She could have easily given up or she could have migrated to another place but she took up risks and stood at the same place, faced every discrimination with the strength of God. This is possible only by the grace of God, The Creator. All glory belongs to God for he alone is worthy to be praised.

Not only my parents but your parents too took up risks in life. The best value one can learn from parents is taking risks in life.

The goal you have in your life demands you to take up risks. It demands you to sacrifice the fun and enjoyment of a short period. If you do so it rewards you with success for a lifetime. If you are still in your comfort zone and dreaming big for your future please do pause for a moment and question yourself. If you do not dare yourself to face hurdles, do not even dream of winning. A failure is not the one who worked hard but still failed. Failure is the one who is afraid of facing battles in life.

Encourage yourself and dare to take up any kind of risks to reach your destination. You should not fear to face hurdles instead hurdles should fear to come near you upon seeing your dareness

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

(2 Chronicles 15:7)

To God be the glory.
