Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

You won't take risk without courage.

Not taking risks ultimately leads to failure.

The only way you're going to reach places you've never gone is if you trust God's direction to do things you've never done.

There are many people who will stay in negative situation because it is familiar, rather than go where there is promise of something good, because that would be something unfamiliar

If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

The ship is safest when it is in port, but that's not what ships were built for.

Taking a new step. . .is what people fear most.

Those who never take risks can only see other people's failures.

Unremarkable lives are marked by the fear of not looking capable when trying something new.

Setting out is always a leap of faith, a risk in the deepest sense of the term, and yet an adventure too. The familiar and the habitual are so falsely reassuring, and most of us make our homes there permanently. The new is always by definition unfamiliar and untested, so God, life, destiny, suffering have to give us a push--usually a big one--or we will not go.
