Many people, in heeding the guidance of their souls, find themselves
contemplating goals that seem outrageous or unattainable. In the mind's eye,
these individuals stand at the edge of a precipice and look out over the
abyss at the fruit of their ambition. Some resist the urge to jump, paralyzed
by the gap between their current circumstances and the life of their dreams.
Others make a leap of faith into the unknown, unsure of what they will
encounter but certain that they will gain more in their attempts than they
would bowing to self-protective instincts. This leap can be exceedingly
difficult for individuals with control issues because the act of embracing
uncertainty requires them to trust that surrender will net them the rewards
they seek. Yet when you make a leap of faith, believing without a doubt that
you will land safely on the other side, you can accomplish almost anything
you set out to do.
There have no doubt been times in your life when you chose to go where the
universal flow took you. Yet you may encounter instances in which your
objectives require you to step outside of the boundaries of your established
comfort zone so that you may freely and actively jettison yourself into a new
phase of your life. While you may fear what seems to be the inevitable fall,
consider that in all likelihood you will find yourself flying. A successful
leap of faith requires your attention, as it is the quiet and often
indistinct voice of your inner self that will point you toward your ultimate
destination. Understand that the leap across the chasm of ambiguity may
challenge you in unforeseen ways but you will make it across if you trust
yourself.
If your mind and heart resist, you can dampen this resistance by building a
bridge of knowledge. The more you know about the leap you are poised to take,
the smaller the gap between "here" and "there" will
appear to be. Your courageous leap of faith can lead you into uncharted
territory, enabling you to build a new, more adventurous life. Though you may
anticipate that fear will be your guide on your journey across the abyss, you
will likely discover that exhilaration is your constant companion.
