Are you ALL IN?

You are hiding in the bushes.
On the other side lay a deer.
You just killed it with your bear hands.
For now you hide.
Because you heard a rustle in the weeds.
You are the predator.
You are also the prey.
The rustle turns into the beast as he steps into the field.
He sees the deer.
He is hungry.
So are you.
What do you do?

Genetically, we are predisposed to eliminate risk from our lives. It saved us from our predators.

The ability to act despite the risk is responsible for all inventions.

We face risk and we worry about what could happen.
We associate it with negative results, specifically danger.
We think it's the beast that will kill us and eat our prey too.

In the above situation, Plan A was to get something to eat. Plan B is to run and hide to live another day.

We are often faced with risky decisions. We develop our plan A's and B's. Plan B is the alternative, not the desire. It's the safer of the two.

When faced with risk, it's easier to choose the alternative.
We can justify that the desire didn't WORK...

Primary plans cannot be executed if there is a Plan B.

When someone tells me they have a Plan B, I know they will fail at Plan A.
Things always go wrong.
I think it's God's way of asking us if we really want what we're looking for.
When things go wrong, it's easy to quit.
When you have a Plan B.
Not so, if you only have one Plan.

From my experience, if you are not ALL IN, then you're not IN at ALL.

Think about that the next time you make plans to do something. Do you have a Plan B?
