Once on the tiger's back, we cannot be sure of picking the place to dismount.
When one jumps over the edge, one is bound to land somewhere.
You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you.
When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
There is no security in following the call to adventure.
When we leap, we must leap as though the net will appear. A leap in life, however big or small, is an act of commitment with the expectation of success.
Adventure is something out of the usual pattern, a point at which you cannot avoid confronting the unknown, so that you have to dig inside yourself to find the courage and resources to deal with what may lie ahead, and to succeed.
Write from what you know into what you don't know.
I don't do quagmires.
Discovery requires courage and acceptance that we are not in control, and that the future is uncertain.
Leap...and the net will follow
You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Look if you like, but you will have to leap.
Unless you walk out into the unknown, the odds of making a profound difference in your life are pretty low.
What I essentially did was to put one foot in front of the other, shut my eyes and step off the ledge. The surprise was that I landed on my feet.
Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.
Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.
Write about something you don't know. And don't be scared, ever.
If there's one thing I've learned in the last few months, it's that sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump.
Leap and grow your wings on the way down
I feel I'm doing what I should've done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you.
Take the leap! You cannot cross a chasm in little jumps.
On the first feature, everything's new. No matter what you're doing, it's a new experience, and you don't really have control over it, in a way, because you just don't know how things work.
My mother told me when I was a kid that each time we get to what feels like the edge of a cliff, we have two choices: to turn around and run, or to jump. I have learned over time to jump - and though it is scary, I know somewhere inside me that I will be caught.
