Take the Leap and the Net Will Appear

I love this phrase. Kim and I recently attended a women's entrepreneur conference and one of the speakers said that this was something her mother always said to her. I have a phrase on my vision board that says "Take the first step. You don't have to know all the steps or path, just take the first step and the way will come".

I have to remind myself of this periodically about my goals etc, and this take the leap and the net will appear is great! I have so often told my children, what is the worse thing that can happen, the answer will either be yes or no. Whatever it is, you know what to do. Don't be afraid of what the answer might be, because there is a 50-50 chance the answer just may be YES!

At this age it is often difficult to forget about our weaknesses and our insecurities. But short phrases such as this one and others are ways to give yourself a pep talk just when the insecurities start to come in.

You know when take a risk and show others your courage, many times, many will step up and help you and be that net you need at the time.

"Leap and the net will appear" is a wonderful old Zen saying. Way too often I stop at the precipice unable to trust. Yet the trust is the key.

I love the saying, I heard it recently and knew it was something I wanted to add to my collection. Oh yes, trust, that is big, trust in ourselves and our abilities is so important. But self doubt etc can sometimes keep us back. I am working on the trust in self and am getting much better in believing the net will appear.
