The Leap Of Faith
One aspect that applies to every single entrepreneur is that they took “The Leap Of Faith.” That moment often feels like a fork in the road. Will you go along with what feels safe, comfortable, and go down the path of what’s expected of you? Will you go in the direction that your soul is yearning to experience? Are you up against fear or faith? Robert Frost depicted this perfectly in the last stanza of his infamous poem, “The Road Not Taken”
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
- Robert Frost
Remember nobody said that being an entrepreneur would be easy, but many remark that it’s worth it. The process is full of risks and moments that challenge you out of your comfort zone. Don't let all the "what ifs" fear you away from making your vision a reality. The truth is, working for somebody else comes with hardship too. So choose your path. What is it worth to you and why are you embarking on this journey? You can't predict the future, so the most solid approach is to make the best decision you can, with the information at hand, and take the entrepreneurial leap of faith. The only way to know what will happen is to be on the court of life where the action is.
There's a first time for everything. What’s the worst case scenario anyway? You fail? What does that infamous “F” word even mean? It’s an opportunity for growth - so let’s reframe that conversation going on in your mind. What’s the worst that can happen? You’ll learn a ton along the way, and you will be more rich in experience than you were before. A mistake does not mean the end - it just invites you to shift your perspective or try a different approach. Take that leap of faith - at the end it’s the journey that matters, and the thrill and growth along that path is worth it.
Time to adventure beyond your comfort zone…
All of the magic resides beyond, so just jump, the universe will be there to catch you!
