Last week Thursday would have been my dad’s birthday and I thought of him when I decided to write this blog. He would always say to me don’t worry about it just go do what you have to do. I remember on more than one occasion saying but suppose I fail. His response was not exactly what the caption says but similar. As Nike would say just do it. I guess that’s why he had wanted me to travel so that I could broaden my horizons. That helped along with youth. Believe me when you young you think you are invincible 😁, some might even say dunce. That’s when you are willing to try conquer the world. I miss him so much. What I wouldn’t give to dance with my father again. 😢. Heard the song the following day and tears came to my eyes.
Would you now jump and believe that the net will appear or are you only willing to take the chance if you see the net? Also how close does the net have to be in order to get you to take that chance and jump? It takes serious belief to jump without that net. I can think of more than one occasion when I did take the leap of faith. Was it courage or stupidity 🤷🏽♀️? I will never know. What I can say is that taking those chances paid off. Now the question is would I do many of those things now🤔? I doubt it and that’s because of the children. But thinking about it won’t that make me unhappy if I don’t take the leap? If I’m unhappy that doesn’t help the situation at all. So I’m asking you are you willing to take leaps of faith hoping the net will appear or do you have to weigh the situation carefully before doing so? Is it because you are being careful or is it because you are scared? There is a difference in my opinion. What do you think?
On Sunday I really thought about this as I gave the almighty thanks for allowing me to live for another year. It was a quiet day and thus a great day for me. Birthdays do this to me all the time. It’s when I look back at the past, try to learn from it and look towards the future. Looking back at my life and I realized how many times I had jumped hoping a net would appear. It’s when looking back that’s I realized I really did jump not knowing what would happen. It happened more often than I realized now that I look back. What’s the worst that could happen? I could fail, so what? And even if I did fail what could be the worst that would happen? Failure is not the end. I sat wondering if I really would be willing to jump now without knowing that a net was there? 🤔 I wonder.
Someone said to me when they read the blog, “It how I try to live my life. #faithgreaterthanfear”
