Potential and Perseverance

When you started the climb, it didn't seem like it was going to be very hard, right?  And now, you wonder if you are going over the edge, or where the edge is, or if there IS an edge.  Perhaps you feel disappointed, or question your abilities, when you are in this spot.
It's natural to do that, and it's part of learning about what the next surprise will be, even more than it is about recognizing what it is that you don't yet know.

Every journey involves some kind of surprise, some time when you can see the potential of the situation, yet you find there is some kind of a gap between where you are and where you visualize yourself as arriving.

You may find that you need to fall back on a safety mechanism.  Or you may discover that your old safety mechanisms no longer work, or are inadequate for the needs of the time.

Perhaps a leap of faith is the only way forward.  This involves choice...will you advance or retreat?  Will you become more or less safe as you continue the journey, or possibly turn back after deciding you don't want to take the risk?

How will you make the choice?
What defines you as a person, as a creative entity?  

The choice contains the possibilities.  Which way you decide to go has less to do with the circumstances, and more to do with your own inner state and your values.

Will you go through the door or turn back?            

All my best, always,
