The thing about a 'dare' is that it's not only a challenge, but it's something people choose to go after or choose to ignore it. (There are some challenges in life we cannot go around, and we may stay there until we get over it- I.e. Breaking up, passing a class, illness, a loss of a loved one). Of course if we choose to ignore it, we have nothing to lose. But if we step up to these dares, we are putting ourselves in a vulnerable position- we can win or lose. With a right mind and common sense, we would also step up to dares that will only benefit us...or else its gambling.
Have you ever won a dare before, any kind of dare?
(Think about it...)
Ha! It's fun, right?
It's fun, because its a decision we made that others won't- because of fear. It feels good, because it's an accomplishment. The best thing about winning a 'good' dare, is that it decreases fearness, it eases the tension of the next challenge to come.
I've been dared to go after my passion. After spending time thinking about what I really want to do with my life, three things came up: food, fellowship, and artistic expression. I've always TALKED about owning a restaurant. I TALKED and TALKED about it so much without any action, that I would burry it in the back of my mind. I didn't want to be 'that person' who does all that TALKING, and no walking... so I kept it to myself.
We always encourage each other to do 'whatever makes you happy". But no one's actually DARED me before, and I don't think I'm going to back down either...plus I have God on my side!
