Sometimes in life you have got to realize that many of us are not even close to success because of fear of stepping out of the boat. That boat could be anything, it could be your friends, situations, jobs, or even our own mindset.
In a lot of cases, your friends are the reason you haven't decided to make the decision to do something different in order achieve the results and the success you desire. You may share your success desires with your friends and because of their mentality, they shoot you down telling you that you can't do it or you're not smart enough, or you don't have what it takes. You can't always tell people what your personal desires are because they are so common with you that it is easy for them to plant a seed of doubt in your heart.
Situations that you may have experienced can cause you not to pursue your dream. People have been programmed by their past to believe that getting ahead is not for them. They may have grown up around people who were always broke or always giving up and it became a part of their lives, so they put up a brick wall which prevents them from stepping out of that boat; stepping out of that comfort zone.
Some people get so caught up on the deadend job that they have that they are afraid to pursue anything else. But yet they sit there and complain that they don't make enough money.
Stepping out of the boat requires obedience and faith. The obedience to do what God has told you in your heart, and the faith to believe God will see you through it.
You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength -- Philippians 4 :19
