Thoughts on 07/04/20 - Not afraid of falling

"Why am I not afraid to fall? Because I trust in myself, trust that I have lived a good and honest life and because of that, God will take care of me. This trust is a gift. Let me share mine with you so that you may build your own."

I don't know where I've heard the quote "You cannot climb high if you're afraid of falling" or something like that.  I'll leave it up to the reader to figure out if they believe that or not.  I do.  Hell, if you've ever seen me on rollerblades or a snowboard, you know I fall HARD.

But I bounce back just as quickly.

I'm not afraid of taking risks because I know I can recover from them, I know I will learn from them.  Doens't mean I'll take stupid risks -riding an R1 as my first bike would be plain stupid - but I'm comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Taking risks is not easy for everyone.  Those who feel comfortable with taking risks are usually either insanely reckless, or have a security structure that can catch them.  I'm not insane, but I trust my support: the skills I have learned, the tools I have at my disposal, my family.  You'll notice that I use the terms skills, tools, etc. both metaphorically and literally.  I am thankful for these gifts such that I may stretch and grow.

This security can be shared as well...  if you want it, let me share mine with you.

... okay back to work ...
