Be BRAVE

There are some people in our lifetime that our exemplary role models for stepping out and trying something new, when everyone else was rooting against them. Michael Jordan is not only known for being one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but also for leaving basketball at the peak of his career, to take a shot at Minor League Baseball. While to some that seemed like the strangest, most unwise decision of his career, which he was greatly criticised for; he was also praised by his Barons teammates and coach for being one of the hardest working teammates in the Minor Leagues. So if you are lacking the courage to try something new, as you are afraid of what people will say, remember this: some of the most successful people in history have made their story by being brave, stepping out, and ignoring the nay-sayers.

"I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

Be bold this year. Be bold now! Step out and do something that is true to you, despite what your critics have to say. It is never too late to try something new!

Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
