Have you ever heard someone say, “I went for it. I took a chance. I had nothing to lose” ?
Certain people, when they hit rock bottom (financially, professionally, emotionally) and can’t go any lower, make a decision to begin a course of action that propels them to success. Since there is nothing worse than their current state, they figure, “anything is better than this!”
But what about individuals that aren’t at rock bottom? Those who have a piece of “success” and live what many might call “the good life”? What happens when a person actually does have something to lose?
It’s not easy to put “the good life” at risk. Unfortunately, this is the reason that many journeys—whether they be personal, athletic, corporate, or social movements—end short of the final destination. People become satisfied. Things get to be “good enough”, and forward progress ends.
I know people say that, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, but that sounds like the statement of someone who is easily satisfied and is not willing to give up what they have for what they want.
Are you willing to give up the things you currently have to get to the other place(s) in your life that you say you want?

another topic that I can relate to from the heart.
Yes, I am willing to give up what I have to accomplish what I want in life..
For most people the idea of having a good or even great job is the ideal pinnacle of successs..
but the thought to give up that job to go for whats really in your heart is another hard decision too.
Any one who tells you other wise is lying..
If God gives you a *vision* to accomplish something, that that vision will haunt you day and nite..
You have *no choice* but to give that vision *life*..
So, if the vision is not really there, and its just a dream, of wanting to be at a particular place at a certain age in life..
then that *drive* to accomplish, just wont be there..
When one is working you all ways develop two pails one that you play with and one you do not. For example I invest in property and I never use my primary resident to invest only my rental property...so you keep the bird in the hand and the one in the bush.
