Leap of Faith!

Hi My BraveHeart Sisters,

I'm on vacation this week ~ YA HOO. This gives me a few moments to be still and listen to my spirit and soul. That said, I woke up this morning thinking about the lessons I've learned in taking a leap of faith on a few things. I hope you'll allow me to share them with you.

The most commonly used meaning for a leap of faith is the act of believing in something, or in spite of, evidence.

Lesson 1:

As strange as this may sound, one of the most powerful lessons I've learned in my leap of faith is I have more strength and courage than I originally thought. In taking my leap of faith, I had to learn, at a much deeper level, what it means to be committed to my OWN success. As women, we are often indirectly "encouraged" to promote the success and wellness of others and there is nothing wrong with that. However, if we are not well and successful within our own right, we begin to feel this sense of hollowness...like something is missing. I've learned that my wellness and success will and can be a directly connected to the success of those around me and because of that, my authentic wellness and success is essential.

I found this quote that I really like. It supports the idea of commitment and taking that leap of faith:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now". Philosopher Goethe

Lesson 2:

Taking a leap of faith toward your dreams and goals can bring about clarity and maturity. Why, because you are being stretched to expand and improve your way of thinking, feeling and behaving.

Now, more than ever before, is the time for all of us to become very clear about who we are and what we want out of life. As I study those who are outrageously successful, one aspect that all of them have in common is clarity of purpose...they know for certain who they are and what they want.

In recent months (especially since joining BraveHeart Women), I've noticed that the more clear and intentional I was about something, the faster it manifested. Boy, how I wish I knew this early on in my life...but as my mother says, "Better late than never."
