Dipping Your Toe & Taking a Leap
Not long ago a friend gave me some advice about taking a leap in terms of a decision I’ve been pondering for some time. When I make a big decision I like to get information–as much as possible because I want to be sure that at the end of the day I’m satisfied that I’ve done my homework. Venturing into unknown territory is something I don’t take lightly yet I have to admit that over the past 10 years I’ve spent quite a bit of time doing just that.
If you’re contemplating a change have done your homework and feel that you’ve got your questions answered yet still struggle to make a yes or no decision maybe the following will help:
When you dip your toe into a pool to test the temperature you can’t be sure that the water is the same temperature two feet below the surface but you have to trust in your experience that it usually is and take the leap.

Once when one of my adult sons was five he was at the pool ready to take his first swimming lesson. He made quite a scene insisting that he was not getting in the water. To say that he was kicking and screaming all the way would describe it to a t. Finally his dad picked him up and threw him in.
He went on to become an excellent swimmer satisfying his lifesaving swimmers requirement.

If You Want to Grow…
Creativity must be encouraged and nurtured if you want to grow as a person. You must be willing to seek out and develop that which is new in yourself. At the same time, you are letting go of old habits, beliefs and expectations that are no longer useful – and could easily be holding you back from true success.
