This comes from a little book called 100 Verses and Prayers for Successful Leaders that was a gift to me recently from Isolde and Otmar, two excellent leaders I know:
“As we consider the uncertainties of the future, we are confronted with a powerful temptation: the temptation to play it safe. Unwilling to move mountains, we fret over molehills. Unwilling to entertain great hopes for tomorrow, we focus on the unfairness of today.”
“Risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”-John Maxwell
“Do not be one of those who, rather than risk failure, never attempt anything.”- Thomas Merton
“Only a person who dares to risk is free.”-Joey Johnson
“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you.”- 1 Chronicles 28:20
