Take the Leap and Choose Adventure
"Be careful,” an acquaintance said to me, after I finished telling her about an adventure in my personal life.
I was excited, full of nervous energy.
Bursting with butterflies, I was bounding like a little spright. What a beautiful feeling, juxtaposed between being queasy and vibrating.
Something you feel before a first date, or walking into a new job, or going on stage for a play. It’s beautiful and terrifying.
I live for this feeling.
Every time I’ve changed my life, I’ve had to take a risk. It has never failed me, even when I failed :).
Yet every time I have chosen the adventure, I’ve had more naysayers than not.
If you tell me to be careful, you are living out of fear. You are choosing the known and predictable vs. adventure.
Everyone has the ability to life their life as if it is the greatest story ever told.
But it takes shifting your mindset: a leap of faith.
