Recently I wrote about taking small steps each day in order to accomplish goals. One of our subscribers wrote in and said that it was impossible to cross a chasm with small steps. We would fall in. That sometimes a leap of faith is required. That is so true.

Although the small steps will move us along the path, sometimes the only way to get on the path is to take a leap of faith. Quitting a job, moving to a new city, or embarking on a new relationship, all take leaps of faith. Any major change in our life will require that we have a degree of trust and are willing to move ahead into the unknown.

Coaching

All the major changes that I made, leaving my job, moving across country, starting my own business, all took major leaps of faith. The first step was a big one. It was scary and risky. But the risk of taking the first step outweighed the risk of staying stuck.

Any major change often will begin with one big leap of faith. We can do all the research there is to do, but in the end we will have to trust and jump. Only then can we take the small consistent steps it takes to follow our path.

Is there a leap of faith waiting to happen in your life?

Quotes

"Our fear cancels our faith - but if we choose to take the risk of faith - we soon learn that it was our fears that were the real risk! Faith is a choice!" Dr. Gary V. Carter

"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on." Iyanla Vanzant

"Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation." Elton Trueblood
