One second of courage.

What happens if someone says

“You can do it!”

Do you believe it?

Do you shrug it off?

Does it inspire you?

Or does it PISS you off?

Do we even really know what is holding us back?

Are we simply craving safety?

I have no idea, well, probably, maybe.

What I know is this:

Trying shit, going for it, taking the plunge, is a matter of just ONE second.

It’s like a balancing act where you fall forward instead of leaning back.

There is fear and hesitation and discomfort and panic so your body and mind scream “NOOOOOOOOO!!!”

So you give up, because it makes sense.

But at that decisive moment, what does your soul say?

Go?

Stay?

Go for it, maybe die a little, only to realize that you have never really lived like this before?

Ask your heart.

With every courageous thing I have ever done, I felt nudged by something deep within me, lovingly challenging me, soothing me at the same time.
