219/365 THE WEIGHT OF A LEAP OF FAITH
It's a jump from where you stand to someplace you have no idea. But you don't just jump because they tell you to; you factor in “someone“ or who you are right now, “something” or what you can do. When you take that leap, you must have faith in yourself first.
Take it literally, jumping off a cliff. You first use your eyes; then you use your legs. Falling without effort is akin to surrender. There’s effort and art in taking that leap of faith. Your eyes specify what you want; your legs calibrate where you land—calculating risks, factoring in faith.
In calculating your leap, consider the following: You’re more capable than now compared to who you were before, and you know more skills and people that ensure you’ll fight through the unknown. Win or learn there; you gain confidence and experience with what you did.
So a leap of faith is not all blind surrender nor asking the universe for something without putting in the work. The leap is but the action that bridges preparation and opportunity. Call it “luck” if you land with all limbs intact; call it a “matter of time” before you end up in the best spot
