​Albert Einstein once said, “I must be willing to give up what I am to become what I will be.” This is the hard part of following our dreams that is seldom talked about. Moving forward through life requires that we let go of the comfortable and familiar that we may have worked extremely hard to achieve and move onto new things. This is called the leap of faith–a sense of confidence that things will work out. This is why so many people back away from pursuing their dream–the leap of faith sounds too scary. In reality, it’s really not scary at all. If you take the leap of faith and things don’t work out, you learn what you can from the experience and try again. Eventually you’ll succeed which gives you the confidence necessary to take future leaps of faith. Taking these leaps of faith adds fun, excitement and meaning to our lives because they cause our dreams to come true.
