At one point or another in our lives we need to take a leap. We as humans have a tendency to analyze things in such detail that we never take the leap of faith. We are always concerned with the outcome, how our action will affect us and our future. As a result of this, we never listen to our heart and are always using our brain. I insist that one should take the leap and it is likely that you will benefit. And, if unfortunately something bad happens, you can always count it as a learning experience. Below, I shall share with you my personal anecdote of the big leap I took and what I learned.
The first thing that comes to mind before taking any leap is your comfort zone. People don't like to get out of their comfort zone. I always dreamed of owning a sports car, but the only way I could do it in my early professional career, was to sell my house and my lovely Mercedes convertible. And believe me when I say I dearly loved both of those belongings. But to make my sports car dream real, I had to sacrifice them both.
So despite my family and friends advising me otherwise; I took the leap and sold my house and car. I started living in the basement of my office, but ended up buying a 1995 Chevy Van. Apparently it seemed like a big setback.
However, when I wanted to take a tour of the United States, here is where the van became useful. I started looking for a companion who could accompany me on my journey and I met a woman named Carole . Again my family and friends warmed me against trusting a total stranger. However, I took the leap of faith and Carole is now one of my good friends. She and I witnessed the most amazing sceneries and shared many adventures. And, by the end, my life dream of visiting California came true in this journey. So it all seemed worth it.
I might say that by taking the leap I have learned alot and am more satisfied internally. What I learned was that I had to break out of my comfort zone in order to experience new adventures. My leap initially seemed at loss when I ended up buying a Chevy Van, but the results proved otherwise. I got the chance to make my dream of touring the United States come true. And the same is the case with meeting Carole. If I had not taken the leap of trusting her; I might have not had the chance of knowing her and finding a good friend. So what I highly recommend is that you break out of your comfort zone and take the leap. Stop worrying about what will happen, just remember that no matter whatever happens you are strong enough to face it. Once you develop the attitude that you are IN-POWER, then there is no stopping you from experiencing new horizons and achieving your dream. So trust yourself and take the leap.
