Over the past several months one particular quote keeps coming to my mind. My quote is, life is about jumping and then building your wings on the way down. It is in fact a combination of two very similar quotes by the same person. “Jump and you will find out how your wings unfold on the way down”, and “Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down”, both by Ray Bradbury.
In attempting to talk myself into, and out of, and then into again this whole blogging venture there was a decent amount of apprehension. What if no one likes it? What if the only people who read it are mom and grandmothers? What if this becomes the most expensive thing I have every done to embarrass myself???? And I would just always come back to well, what if it works? And why does it matter what anyone else thinks of it? Do it for you. Do you have a magically fortune telling crystal ball you forgot to mention? Because other wise you won’t know unless you try.
This has been something I have been wanting to try, for…. pretty much as long as I have understood the concept of a blog. And right here, right now, feels like the moment where it is possible. That this is the moment I can really take this platform and use it to find personal fulfillment, as well as impacting others.
But, at the end of the day, I don’t know if this going to work. And I am not really even sure what this whole thing “working” would even look like. All I know is I felt like jumping, and now I am building my wings….
Good Job, so proud of you !!!
