Standing Outside The Fire
If you're a Garth Brooks fan you know where this post is going. If you are not a Garth Brooks fan then maybe you'll learn why I am LOL.
"But you've got to be tough,
when consumed by desire.
Cause it's enough,
just to stand outside the fire."
I use to think that people that could jump fully into something literally risking so much of themselves.for something they want were crazy. Why would you invest so much into something with the possibility of falling so very hard? I couldn't grasp the risk to payout ratio concept....
And then I found myself with absolutely nothing to lose. Now I will risk it all to gain whatever comes my way. I love who I am becoming because I quit standing outside the fire. I jump in and take the fall because it is so much more worth it than hiding in fear and never knowing what could have been.
If you're like I was let me tell you something.... You will never achieve true happiness if you don't give true effort and true effort and doesn't come from always standing outside the fire. The answer is simply JUMP!! The fire can burn, but happiness burns much brighter.
What is your desire?
Where will your passions lead you?
What will you do to make them a reality?

To me, there are two types of people, those who test the waters by sticking their toe in, and jumpers. In my experience, toe dippers rarely get wet.
Good fortune

In addition to taking your advice, I I just follow Jude, Liz, and Rick, and it is working!
Ditto on Jude's comments about Grammarly! I love it!
All the best Jen.

Jennifer, as a life coach. I've learned that you have to go within yourself to find the true opportunities for you are there. As you say you have to 'Jump In' and take the fall if that happens. The reality is that you as least tried. Another learning experience.
I agree Ricardo. Too many are satisfied following the mundane, I was at one point as well. No more and never again
Me too. Lately I've been writing and yesterday managed to meet my goal of publishing I am super proud of it. :) I had to read through it yesterday before finalizing it and realized I need to learn a lot more about grammar LOL.
I haven't, but I most surely will. I am lucky to have friends that excel where I'm lacking. She saved my life with her corrections.
My desire is to have a successful online business. My passions could lead me anywhere. I'll see when I get there ;-) I'm working on my site, learning how to improve it as well as my MLM business. Constant learning is necessary for me. Learning and teaching.
I hope you're OK! Been thinking about you ;-)
Learning is a constant need when you desire growth!Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am doing much better now, I am still processing most of it honestly. I just couldn't sit in numbness anymore and not do anything.
How are you?
