On The Fence

Do you ever feel as if you're stuck on the fence?  You know those moments...the ones where you're clinging to the comfortableness and safety of one side, yet longing to experience what lies on the other side.  

I think this is something we all face from time to time -- unsure of whether to stay where we're used to being or whether to jump into something new.  Personally, I think it's wise to sit on the fence for a little while, and evaluate the options on both sides.  Sometimes it's a little scary to jump into the unknown.  Even with what's visible on the other side of the fence, there are always things which won't become clear until later.  I try to analyze the possible risks, but if I do too much thinking, I find myself sitting on the fence much too long.  Ultimately, there comes a time when I finally take a deep breath, lift my wings, and fly into new possibilities.  For it is in the discovery of the new and unknown, I find my creative soul thrives.

How about you?  Do you allow fear to push you back toward familiarity, or do you take a leap of faith and dive into the unknown?  Or do you sit on the fence indefinitely?

InJoy,
