The first question one might ask is how exactly you got to the top of a 100-foot pole in the first place. Whenever you’re at the top of something high the first thing someone will tell you is not to look down. Your immediate reaction is looking down and instantly the realisation of where you are hits you and panic settles in.
With every decision we make in life there comes a time when we need to take a step of faith, leap into the air and learn to fly. Each day we take another step forward in our lives and move towards our ultimate goals in life. At times we may step backwards and at other times we progress forward to achieving our goals. It may be that when we do reach the top of the 100-foot pole the only way up - is to jump, spread your wings and learn to fly.
It’s the same concept like starting a new job and your boss throws you in the deep end. You have to learn to swim and turn the challenge before you into an opportunity. With no alternative options it may be safer to take a risk and make yourself vulnerable, to step from the top of the 100-foot pole into the unknown.

And how difficult is it to take that leap of faith. Most of us strive for things in life but we are so scared of the unknown, so we rather stay on top of the 100 foot pole and leave the jumping and flying to someone else. That is so wrong because if we do take the jump and actually fly successfully just think what great things we will be able to reach in our lives. Your blog is great and makes me think if I'm the one who jumps and fly or if I'm the one that just stay in the safety zone, on top of the 100 foot pole.
ReplyDeleteI totally relate to that. We have to take that step of faith to proceed to the next journey. Well written.
