JUST JUMP!

What is life without some excitement? What is life without some risk? Without those, life would be boring, life would be stuck in one place. MANKIND would be stuck in one place. If no one ever took a chance, where would we be?

Life is full of mountains and canyons. We have to climb the mountains and jump the canyons if we expect to get anywhere. How can one feel the satisfaction of accomplishment if they remain at the bottom of the mountain, or give up halfway? How can anyone expect to fly or jump a gap if they don’t try it out?

We need to learn how to jump! We need to take chances! There are no bridges in life. You have to jump over a gap if you expect to cross it. If you wait too long, maybe for the gap to close, the gap will only lengthen or maybe sprout a barrier. Your chance will be gone, and if it is not gone, it will be further away. JUMP! Maybe you might sprout wings and fly, maybe you might land in a lake and take a nice swim, maybe you might jump the gap, maybe you might fall and crash. But if you fall, it won’t kill you. You get up, heal, and move on to your next mountain or canyon.

We can never know what will happen when we try to jump. This fact should be encouraging, not discouraging. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN so we definitely don’t KNOW that we will fail. That should be some good motivation.

But if we never jump or climb, we never get anywhere, we never achieve anything, we never overcome anything.
