I agree with you about taking risks - especially the part about the karaoke card (I see so many people do exactly that and flip through the book all night). Thanks for the comment, James Jon,

Well said. I agree with you about taking risks – especially the part about the karaoke card (I see so many people do exactly that and flip through the book all night).

Thanks for the comment,

Some times we've pushed through. Other times we have not. Success is difficult, that's why not everyone has it. Failure is easy, which is why anyone can do that. Going outside of your comfort zone is the only way to grow faster than the norm. You could stay in your comfort zone, moving up at a painstaking rate. Or you could put yourself in an uncomfortable position. Volunteer yourself for a difficult project. Take that speaking gig that you've dreaded. Actually submit that karaoke card instead of just looking through the song book all night. Pushing through is the hardest part. That's why it turns your stomach into knots, but that's what makes us grow and succeed. I think we all have encountered situations like this in our lives. Some times we’ve pushed through.
