"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

Redefining what it means to be a Superhero
In the traditional sense a superhero is a character in a movie or story who has special powers, such as the ability to fly, that are used for fighting evil or helping people. One of my favorite superheroes growing up was the Incredible Hulk. I identified with him because he was a man of few words and incredible strength and durability. I loved watching him when he hulked out.
I think all of us have identified with a superhero at one point in our life. I think that is made evident with the Ave…
Inspired Leadership
I love to inspire people. It brings a huge smile to my face. I love to lead. That’s why I started a men’s ministry called Spiritual Warriors Unite at the gym I train out of. It’s a place where men can be real, vulnerable and authentic. To me it’s church. Not everyone is even a Jesus follower in our monthly gathering, but that is exactly what Jesus would want. All comers are welcome. We sit in a circle and we talk about our struggles and the hope we have in Jesus.
We have talked about the diffic…
