Risk Taker?

Taking risks in life can sometimes be more natural than living in fear. The fear of not knowing is the failure. Life is about taking risks. I believe risk taking increases success. Whether it is sports or business, taking risks calls you to stand out in confidence and faith.

I went to Brazil with only 300 dollars. Some will say why would you go to Brazil for three weeks with 300 dollars, but what I went with mostly was my faith. The bible says in John 6:29  "Jesus told them, this is the only work God wants from you: Belief in the one he has sent” and that’s exactly what I did. I didn’t know what to expect, but I could only pray things went well for me.

Taking risk can be scary. You don't know what will happen. You don't want to be left alone in this decision. Ultimately you don't want to fail. However, some of the greatest opportunities in you're life will be when you're taking a risk.

Campos Do Jordao, Brazil is one of the most expensive places to vacate in Brazil. Brazil’s official language is Portuguese and very few people speak English there. I met a wonderful family who speaks English and Portuguese and housed my friend and me for free. They were very kind and exceeded our expectation. I was forever grateful to them, but more so to God. In this tournament, I got to the semifinals and moved up in the rankings.

Take risks! You write the story and watch it come to past.
