Are you waiting for the right moment to come before doing what you want? For example, taking the vacation of your dreams? Moving to a new city? Taking a new job? Starting a YouTube channel?
In Lisa Nichols' book Abundance Now she gives an example of jumping before you’re ready. She explains how people who jump out of planes jump out way before the parachute opens. “They fall a long way before achieving safety. They have to give themselves this permission--to fall before they open their parachutes and soar.”
Nichols believes “jumping, regardless of the outcome is the real problem.” I agree with her. I believe this is at the core of why we sit by the side-lines, watching as others get to live the life we want. We are so afraid of the outcome: what if it’s not what I want? What if it’s exactly what I want and somehow my life changes? These thoughts confine us and make us live small.
Imagine this for a moment: Jumping before you’re ready.
