Leaps of Faith >>

July 10, 2006 at 4:35 pm (Strategy, freethought, leadership)

 

BLIND FAITH is a paradoxical prerequisite for VISIONARY leadership
& having a VISION is not what you can SEE

Sometimes life requires that you just LEAP.. into the seeming void and TRUST your decision is right

I have a tattoo in a place that I can’t see, to remind me to love, honour and obey my immortal passionate spirit until death do we part. (It isn’t a in naughty spot in case you were unsettled BTW)

And I have been unfaithful.

I betrayed myself. And like all those who are unfaithful, it was because I was scared/insecure or whatever numbskull excuse that come down to = fear of not being good enough. Pathetic and selfish. Does this world need yet another deflated resigned slave to the “sensible and sturdy” ..for goodness sake?!

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in Nature. – Helen Keller

  1. having got a kick in the pants from my beautiful and fiercely smart friend DeeDee,
  2. powering turbo’s of enthusiasm & the sheer delight of taking life by the horns (and not waiting till the beta bugs are blown) from DD
  3. a fierce & funny skype session with Mike the unStoppableforth and
  4. .. and finally Rafiq the Innov8r who stepped into the magic and found it deliciously potent.

 

Thank you guys for reminding me of the fun that’s out there when you’re true to yourself. I wish us all a week of boundless imaginings that compels us to leap into our true genius! The most awful fate for me would be one where I had shrivelled my spirit through insecurity and not ended this earthly game all used up – with a big grin having etched itself on my face from all the years of adventure.

I hereby vow (as of 10 July 2006) to live as I was designed to live :: To take on the challenges that thrill and terrify me to the core. To henceforth LIVE every day of my life..especially when it scares me silly! If you think you might also be up for a big leap year, join me, there’s nothing like the intoxicatingly beautiful company of the courageous..

Others have seen what is and asked ‘why’. I have seen what could be and asked why not.- JFK
