Do you know that nervous energy you get when you face the uncertainty of life?
You feel it when you assume a overwhelming risk…
It’s that emotion…that adrenaline rush…almost an inner fear…
Yet something inside prompts you to proceed in spite of the nervousness…
You feel it deep in your gut…
Ever felt it?
Well here’s the reality…
Some of us…as awkward, difficult, stressful, and even painful as it can be…
Live for that emotion…
You’ll find it in entrepreneurs…
You’ll find it in church planters…
You’ll find it among risk-takers…
You’ll find it in extreme sports enthusiasts…
I think the Apostle Paul must have had it…
It’s an inner drive to achieve, to accomplish, to pursue big dreams, conquer huge obstacles…
And achieve what others will not attempt…
I think it can be a God-given emotion…
It can be abused…
It must be used carefully…
But it shouldn’t be wasted…
Can anyone identify with that emotion I’m describing?
When’s the last time you felt that nervous energy?

I think that adrenaline rush is necessary for peak performance. I love it, When I don't feel it regularly, I know it's time to step out the boat and challenge myself.
I agree. I need to have the feeling frequently or I get very bored with life.

I agree…
So true. I often wonder why I keep putting myself in those situations. Knowing full well that I could never be fully alive without the rush that comes with that “inner drive.” And then I think of my wife who didn’t choose these things but gets to live them. She is the hero.
Ha! It's part of the DNA!
