"Take a chance. It's the best way to test yourself, have fun and push boundaries." -Richard Branson
The "Take a Chance On Yourself Blog" offers a beautiful invitation to embrace growth, courage, and transformation by breaking free from the limits we often place on ourselves. Here's a breakdown of these five key questions:
-
What does it mean to you to take a chance on yourself?
Taking a chance on yourself means believing in your potential and trusting that you can navigate the unknown. It's about stepping into opportunities with courage and allowing yourself the space to grow, regardless of the outcome. -
How have you allowed yourself to take chances in your life?
Reflect on moments when you've taken risks in both small and large ways. These could be pivotal decisions like starting a new career, relocating to a different place, or even shifting your mindset from fear to curiosity. -
What resistance have you had to overcome to allow yourself to take chances?
Resistance often comes in the form of fear, doubt, or attachment to comfort and security. Identifying these internal and external barriers can help you realize what's held you back in the past and how you can confront them moving forward. -
How are you currently taking a chance on yourself?
Whether you're in the middle of a big leap or taking baby steps towards your goals, reflect on the actions you're taking right now that align with your true desires. -
What is the resistance or fear you are currently experiencing, or what is holding you back from taking a chance on yourself?
This question digs into what’s currently standing in your way. Perhaps it's fear of failure, worry about judgment, or concerns about financial or emotional security. Recognizing these fears is a vital step toward breaking through them.
As you share and explore these questions with others on the blog, it will undoubtedly foster a powerful community of support. Everyone's journey looks different, but the common thread is the bravery it takes to step into the unknown for the sake of growth

Rise Up to the Murph Challenge
When was the last time you got out of your comfort zone? When was the last time you pushed your physical limits beyond what you thought you were capable of? When was the last time you have felt fully alive?
In this day and age it’s easy for us to get soft. We have 200 channels on the TV to choose from. We have fast food restaurants on every corner. We have phones that keep us connected to the world 24/7.
I don’t know about you, but I am about over it.
As part of my fitness ministry I …
Creating the Habit of Greatness
Whether we want to admit it or not we are all creatures of habit. The vast majority of us do the same things day after day. We eat the same foods, we think the same thoughts, we drive to work the same way.
Of course that is good in many ways. Thank goodness we don’t have to re-learn how to drive a car every day. We have that habit instilled in us to the point we often times drive somewhere and have no recollection of how we even got there. That’s a little scary isn’t it?
Case in point wh…
One Word Can Change Your Life
2018 has come and gone. For me 2018 was the fastest year on record. It went by like the blink of an eye. It was an amazing year in so many ways, but also very challenging. As always the two parallels of life. The good and the bad. The triumphs and the failures. The moments of love and then heartbreak.
The biggest thing I learned from 2018 is to embrace uncertainty. To be OK with not knowing. To completely trust God and His plans for my life. To fully embrace that there are no acci…
The Man in the Arena (Getting his Ass Kicked a Little Bit)
“Get in the arena, show up, do your thing and don’t be afraid to get your ass kicked a little bit.” –Brene Brown
Do you ever have one of those days, weeks, months or even years where you just want to quit? Where you don’t want to get in the arena anymore and keep getting your ass kicked? When you get to the point in your life where you want to say screw it and run away from reality?
I had one of those weeks not too long ago. I wanted to quit everything. Quit trying to grow a fitness minis…
Change the World with Love
My heart is breaking! Sadly we live in a world where a man goes into a synagogue and randomly kills eleven people because he decides he hates Jews.
We live in a world where a doctor abuses his power and sexually abuses over one hundred women for his own pleasure.
Sadly we live in a world where there is still prejudice. Where we always think we are right and the other person is wrong and we won’t even listen to understand.
It’s easy to throw up our hands and complain and join in on all of th…
It's OK to be a Beginner
I felt inept. I lacked confidence. I was worried I would hurt myself. That describes how I felt last week when I decided I would give mountain biking a try. It has been over five years since I have done any “real” mountain biking. I have been wanting to get back out there for a while, but I have been so focused on my road cycling I didn’t have time.
As I went on the so called “beginner” trail with my heart pumping and not knowing what to expect I was greeted with more protruding and jag…
