The Giant Leap
by How to make that tough decision to change your life. Just a couple of ways and the results that follow.
The second way isn’t quite as affective as the first for it too brings the pain of sleepless nights and missed opportunity, but it will produce the same results if the focus in correct. Tiny steps of faith. By doing the small things required to slowly move in the direction that we are striving for, we build our faith based on our accomplishments of the small things. Often times I feel we as people get lost in this process because it is a longer process and gives more room to make mistakes. You still suffer the painful effects of lack of sleep and the stress that comes from living a life that is spinning in circles but for some people, this is there only way out. Just try to keep a clear picture of the number one priority, the one thing holding you back and focus on that first. Often times people take tiny steps in a hundred different directions and then wake up three months from now having accomplished much less then they intended. The main reason for this is that people seldom set goals when taking such steps. They live by the moment simply trying to do something everyday. The problem is that something could be anything, and often times, while improving their life, it doesn’t fix their problem. So again, I stress the importance of having a clear goal and focus if the small steps are the right path for you. Aim for the biggest problem first that is cluttering your judgment. Set a goal of when you want to be finished with the specific situation, take only specific small steps in the direction that will make the biggest difference, and never give rest a chance to sneak back into your life.
We have one chance to change our lives. Never promised another breath or another day, we have but one opportunity to step away from the life we have been associated with. You can take one giant leap or many small steps to accomplish this radical change. The choice is yours but so also is the pain that comes with such a choice. Never forget to rely on your friends for support and love for they have seen the issues long before you realized that they were problems. Get out and make the decision to change your life radically today, while the thoughts are still in your mind. Your life is in your hands and nobody can change it but you. It doesn’t matter how many times people address the issue or give advice on the change needed. You will ultimately suffer as long as you allow. Whatever your reason, whatever your story; if your sitting here today reading through this then I know your close. Stay focused, stay sharp, and never forget…we believe in you.

To wrap up any further question I wanted to make one final thing clear. At the end of the day it comes down to one option regardless of the path you choose to follow. When it is all said and done you still have to jump. Tiny steps of faith don\’t change the fact that any action toward drastic change requires a solid motion. Tiny steps only make the big leap seem easier because they serve to produce greater faith, but for that faith you suffer with anxiety and lack of sleep. So consider that stress and anxiety a form of payment for the small steps of faith. At the end of the day I still recommend you simply jump for and sort out the details later. Think of change as more of an ice sculpture then a snowman. A snowman melts slowly until one day it is gone. Often times we don\’t even notice the change in size if the snowman melts slow enough. This would resemble growth but not change. The ice sculpture would represent the change we are after. We can slowly chip away at the legs. With every new piece chipped away we gain greater confidence that the sculpture will fall. But as we are chipping we get to that final support and rather than a slow fade away, the ice sculpture takes a swift stumbling down. The chipping represents the tiny steps but at the end of the day; the sculpture still comes crashing down in one giant leap. So if your strong enough, if you’re brave enough, if you’re ready; save yourself all the added agony and take one giant leap trusting that God will fulfill his promise and never forsake you. And in the end, you will land on solid ground.
