Leap of Faith

Take the Leap

‍

That’s all it is Miles, it’s a Leap of Faith…. 

‍

I think so many of us are just waiting for a moment. We are waiting for all the stars to be aligned for the right combination of events to occur before we take action. But there will never be a perfect moment. The moment we want will come and go a million times but we will refuse to see it and refuse to take action. 

‍

I’ve personally struggled with finding the right time, telling myself that there will be a better opportunity or a better chance. Then I would wait and wait and wait, paralyzing myself with doubt because I was too afraid to actually take the leap. To do the scary thing. To do the hard thing. We get scared putting ourselves out there so we say i will wait until I have a job that pays me a certain amount or that I have obtained certain athletic or academic success. We should and what if ourselves to justify why we don’t fully commit to something.

I wanted to start a blog in college. But I told myself I needed to focus on school, time was limited, I had things to “prioritize.” I gave into reasons and doubts to take a step from the edge and not believe in myself. I knew what I wanted but I felt that I had to wait for the moment to be right. And I did it again and again and again. I don’t regret a lot, but I do wish sometimes I took more chances and doubled down on my own belief in myself. 

‍

I had opportunities come to me and I would justify other circumstances in my life as why not to do it. Instead of looking at the opportunity and thinkin that the worst thing to happen is I fail. And my whole life I’ve been learning from failure. If there is something out there that you want. There is something you want to try. Something that you keep coming back to. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. The perfect moment is the moment you feel drawn to it. 

‍

We’ve all passed on that moment. But we’ve all found that moment and said why not and just took the leap. Usually good things follow. That tug at your heart, that call from your soul. That’s the perfect moment. Stop waiting, start chasing. Take the leap. The worst thing to happen is you fail. The best, well maybe your whole life changes.
