Take That Leap

Easier said than done, right? Don’t you wish you could just live life without worrying about the consequences? I’m not talking about living recklessly, but having enough courage to be the person you want to be or live the life you dreamed of for yourself. There are so many things that hold us back: worry, fear, and self doubt to name a few. Why do we let outside influences dictate who we are or what we do? Think about what you could accomplish or experience if you had no fear. Every time I watch the winter Olympics, I can’t help but envy the ski jumpers and snow boarders who are launching themselves many feet into the air while doing flips and turns and landing blindly on their feet. I can’t even imagine what it takes to stand on the edge and just go for it. They are risking everything, including life and limb, to achieve success. Are they just wired differently, or are we able to learn how to dismiss the doubts and take that leap?
