JUMP IN
“Wings are like dreams. Before each flight, a bird takes
a small jump, a leap of faith, believing that its wings will
work. That jump can only be made with rock solid feet.”
J.R. Rim
It is like stepping into a cold shower, just get in. When jumping off that
cliff, there is no looking back or stopping. Dive in. Just go and enjoy
the ride. Of course, before you step up to that cliff you have done the
work. You have prepared, mentally, emotionally, and physically. You
are ready. You are good enough. You are capable. You can do it. You
have checked the water. You have checked the depth. You know it
is time to go. You just got to put one foot out there, step up, and go.
You are not flying blind. You have checked it out. The water is deep.
The water is clear. Now it is up to you. Take that leap. Get out of your
comfort zone. Do not hesitate. Do not back down. Do not overthink it.
Just go. Jump. Magical things will happen. Along your journey you will
get help. From where you least expect it. You have laid the foundation.
You have friends. Allies. Support teams. Your teammates have your
back. But now it is on your shoulders. Just jump in, sink or swim, fail
or succeed entirely. You may sink, but you will always come back up
and say wow, what a ride, and do better next time. Brace yourself
and hold on. Pick your line and go for it. Take the risks but know the
consequences. Push your limits, your limits are further than you “think,”
but know your limits, you can’t always do everything.

MAKE OURSELVES STRONG
“We can make ourselves miserable or we can make
ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”
Carlos Castaneda
Let us face it, we only have so much energy to go around, and there
are only so many hours in the day. Why waste precious resources
sulking or being miserable? Time will pass no matter what we do, so
use the time to make the most out of the situation and come out the
better for it, no matter how small the improvement. There is no sense
going backwards or failing to make progress. It is like deciding to veer
off the racecourse in a marathon and go down a different trail. All you
have done is expend energy, gotten into a worse mental frame of mind,
moved farther away from your finish line goal, taken you longer and
made you grumpy. Take what life gives us, what happens, and use it
as a springboard to get stronger. To get better. To be better. To learn.
To not repeat the same mistakes. It is our mind. We choose. It is our
point of view. We get to decide.
