God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part.

Edward Whitacre, Jr.

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.
