If you are not putting something at risk – your pride, your comfort, your money – then you are not taking an action. You are merely moving.
The value of an action is directly related to how much you are risking by taking this leap into the unknown.
If you want what is in your life to mean more, you must be willing to sacrifice more for it.
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
Mark 12:41-44
