Taking the Leap

So much of the time, I want to do things — awesome things. I have precious ideas floating about in my mind and passions that I wish to delve into. But… there’s just this… thing that stops me from reaching for that star. I simply can’t bring myself to act upon them. 

This is a note written to myself and to you:

---

I stand here before you and beside you, a message written in words like a march of soldiers — each one merely a tiny figure, but altogether powerful. I’m here to tell you that you are capable of shooting towards what you want to do. Shine. Look up. Strive towards that goal — that dream — whether it’s a project, a cause, or a simple act; distant or near.

Only you can drive and motivate yourself to explore your horizons. Let go of self-doubt weighting in your heart, let go of the world’s perceptions ringing in your ear. I say this to encourage you to go for it. What’s holding you back?

Leap over them — those blocks of resistance. Catch yourself having negative thoughts — they’re not helping you. Replace them with positive affirmations. After all, our thoughts translate into feelings, which then translate into actions. Let’s not let the fear of failure shake us. We will trip, we will stumble, we will fall, but you are taking on this journey because you love it. Little steps count. It’s that burning passion that will take you to the very end and put a delicate wreath of gold-leaf upon your head. Go for it.
