Taking the Leap by Fran Hafey / Mysti
"Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came
and he pushed
and they flew ..."
~ Christopher Logue ~ an English poet
It's a hot summer day and the water of the pool looks so wonderful. The blue ripples moving to and fro by the wind. I have lived enough years to know that even when it's hot, getting into a pool the water still feels cold, like a quick shock to the body. I walk over and hold onto the rail and dip my foot in... YIKES, that's cold, but its sooo hot out here.
I take the chance. I slowly step into the water and with each step, it goes higher and higher up my body, touching my skin. I stand waist high, wondering, "why don't I just go for it, take that leap, dive right in, just do it!!
Ok that's it, enough. I take a breath and dive right under the water swimming a ways. I come up and take another breath and I relax floating in the wonderful, refreshing water ... it feels great! Ahhhhh.
So why did I wait so long? Why did I hesitate if I knew that the water felt so good? All I had to do was remember. Remember like I had done before and just take the leap, that leap of faith that the water was nice and felt so serene and would cool me off from the hot sun. I knew this, but yet, I hesitated.
In life, we do this often. We know when we come to certain bridges in our lives, that all we have to do is just put one foot in front of the other and take that first step. The path may not always be so smooth and refreshing, but we must have faith, and like taking that leap, just do it!
Some of you may be saying "but yes, I know I should do that, but, what if I jump or take that leap and it was the wrong choice?" What are your options?
When you search for answers and direction, often we get it, but our old habits, or our uncertainty holds us back. I am not saying to go with every thought you have, but to pay attention to them and give them to Spirit/God and by releasing them, you are setting them free to work in your life. Thoughts from OUR minds are different from those given to us from Spirit and our guides.
You will never know until you at least try out the water. How can you be so sure that standing on the sidelines is the best thing for you? We can't let fear and doubt control us.
I have many times been faced with options and decisions and I could think something to death. I am an Aquarian on top of it all, so I think a lot already. Do not let your thoughts and your mind get in the way of your heart. Some may take it a bit lower and say, "pay attention to your gut feelings, they are always right."
For me, I have many options and choices being put before me in my life. The majority are big things that will affect my life and others. I know how I feel, that I want to do more, to reach out, jump right in and get busier and start traveling, doing more public speaking, book signings and much more.
My old self and old habits say, "but I'm afraid, this is new to me, will I fail?" When I go within and listen to my higher self and really meditate on the answers, I know them already. I know what I want to do and what my life mission is.
This knowing and experiencing, entails that I do many things I have not done before. I will have many adventures and some trials too. I am ready and so I just have to take that leap.
I have done this already, but the water is getting deeper. I am being challenged and asked to do even more. Again I have choices. I can take that leap forward into some unknown territories, having complete faith that I am taken care of and that all the things I need will come to me in perfect timing. Not my timing but my Creators.
I learn many lessons along the way and just think, once upon a time I was just learning to float and doggie paddle!!! Look at me now, I am swimming right out in the Ocean and I have total faith. All things happen for a reason and my faith is stronger than the waves.
I am surely blessed and know that not all days will be as easy or difficult as others, but I just keep floating and enjoying the beautiful blue waters.
Won't you take that leap of faith into the water today?
