Bet on Yourself

I have often thought that, when we have faith and act with our natural human courage and instinct, we are taking a chance on betting on ourselves and our talents. One who frustrates this natural instinct, by refusing to act courageously, and creatively bet on himself, is one who could be a candidate for fulfilling this natural need in other, less desirable ways, like gambling tables... Faith and courage are natural instincts and one feels a need to express them in one way or another. Let's bet on something, so why not ourselves!
