Letting Go

Sometimes the fear behind the question “What now?” keeps you from acting. But if you stop worrying about how people could be disappointed by your choices and start focusing on how they might support them, the fear really lessens.

I feel like I’ve been on one track, full steam ahead but recently the track disappeared and I’m slamming the breaks as I approach the edge of a cliff.
My automatic process is to start thinking how to get that track back and how to build it ahead of me, minding the gap.

I’ve decided to work really hard to change my automatic response – and just keep going, track or not, and jump when I hit the cliff’s edge.
Instead of thinking of all the things that will go wrong, I’m just going to think “Maybe…”

I won’t know where my decisions take me until I try.
