"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how...We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
- Agnes de Mille, dancer
I question this quote quite often but then think about the day I flew to Florida for a job interview, had a few interviews, walked into a man (literally) who put me into interviews and I signed a contract a few hours later. 6 weeks later I was moving to Florida and have been here 4 years. I took a leap that day and I don't know that I've really done that large of a leap ever since. It's hard to do things for fear of the unknown. I've read numerous books and magazines about trusting your gut and truly believe that our guts give us an idea of what could happen, but we really don't know everything that will happen. This change in my thinking and analyzing what is going on in my life has made me want to take leaps because I don't have a lot of what holds people back (i.e, a husband, kids, etc.) While there are great advantages to those things, I'm at an impass where I am still able to choose my path 100%. This is just as scary as having to speak to others to see how they feel or ask what they think about an activity or life decision. It's a scary and wonderful world out there - I just know I'll be able to see more of it sooner than later...
