Your Chute will Open.

Our brains are wired to fear change. So we wait. We wait to get the courage to take the leap. We wait to not feel scared before we send the email, make the call, go back to school, ask for what we want - whatever it is. 

We wait to act until we no longer feel scared. 

The thing is the courage never comes until we take action. 

Think about Skydiving. If you were to jump out of a plane you would have the good sense to have your parachute packed & ready to go- but you wouldn’t have it open  inside the plane. 

You wouldn’t have your chute open BEFORE you jump. You would just take a deep breath and jump. 

And your chute will open AFTER you jump. 

So stop waiting for the fear to go away before you take action. 

Courage comes after we take action. 

Ask anyone who has ever done something they perceived to be scary- they were scared out of their minds. But they did it anyway. 

And the courage came after the leap. 

Know that your chute is packed and ready to go. 

Make the decision to trust that your Chute will open.
