Take A Flying Leap

Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith. You need to say this doesn't work for me any more. You need to say, yes, I'm open to that. I won't, or I will, I'm in, or I'm out, whatever the case may be.

Then you wait for the outcome. Of course, the waiting is the hard part. You know you made the right choice deep in your heart. But the result is so different than you planned. That's because all we can do is our part, the rest is beyond our control. We can hope, dream, wish and pray. Often the picture looks, in fact very much is, different than the life we imagined. 

It's a tough pill to swallow. It involves letting go and letting God. It involves trusting that whatever comes, or doesn't come to pass is part of the bigger plan. We're talking growth here, growth is hard. Not though, as hard as holding growth in. Not as hard as looking the other way, not as hard as giving up because we won't step up.

Which takes us back to that leap of faith. Take it. Because what if it works out better than we ever dreamed?  And if not, because sometimes it doesn't, you learn a lesson, give thanks for the journey and chose another path. Not easy, but necessary. Chose to grow, chose to shift, trust it will unfold according to the plan. Take a flying leap....
