A disciplined person not only knows how to say 'no' to themselves but 'no' to other people when they need to.

Fear is stupid, so are regrets.

Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie

I had so much fear of blood, and the first thing I did was to cut myself to see what happens. That's the only way to rebuild yourself.

When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? That faithfulness is holding the fort? That playing it safe is safe? That there is any greater privilege than sacrifice? That radical is anything but normal? Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.

What if you quit making excuses, quit playing it safe, and quit hedging your bets?

We need to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.

If you let fear dictate your decisions, you will live defensively, reactively, cautiously. Living by faith is playing offense with your life.

Jesus didn't die on the cross just to keep you safe. He died to make you dangerous--a threat to the enemy. He died so that you could make a difference for all eternity.

Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.

When you rise to the challenge of adventurous living, your days will be richer and your soul will be fuller. There will be more risks, more dares, and more obstacles. And in return, there will be more memories that started out as dreams. Adventure doesn't happen by accident. It has to be intentional.

Irrational fears only submit to prayer.
