Sometimes, that's the best advice we can hear. Win or lose, succeed or fail, go for it, and go all the way.
There are times when it's wise to be cautious. And there are times when the best thing we can do -- the only thing we can do -- is go for it by living big. Ask him/her out. Request the raise. Say no and mean it. Learn to drive a race car or climb a tall hill. Learn to snorkel or surf. Dreams remain dreams until you act upon them. Then they become real life.
Will you throw a few coins into the beggar's cup, or will you bring him a hamburger and fries from the local fast-food place? Will you do an average job at work, or will you look for ways to go big -- really give it your best in the everyday areas of your job? Will you put your all, your heart and emotions, into the relationship with the people you love? Will you wait for another, more convenient time to pray, or will you start genuinely trusting God?
You don't have to get a life. You've already got one. Live it, and live big.
God, help me let go of my fear and timidity, and learn to live big.

Ahhhh... Thank you Carol! That is JUST what I needed to read to start my busy day today! I have a not-too-pleasant task to get at and needed the attitude adjustment. You're an angel and the reading is manna from heaven...Tim
