never knowing

"Birds learn to fly, never knowing where flight will take them."
- The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo

Is there some desire you have hesitated to give life to? If you're willing to leap... you may be surprised to find your wings are already there to help you soar. Without taking risks, you'll never know. Pin It

    Beautifully put, Maya. I'm a big fan of quotes about risk-taking in particular. I like the reassurance they provide on any given day when my overanalyzing tendancies try to get me to play safe! :)

    Lovely Maya; I've got a notebook with a few ideas that I've held back from. Time to start...

    Risk taking is so hard for all of us... putting it up here as a post is just like pinning it to my inspiration board. Let's soar together!

    I was inspired by a photo of yours for a postcard I drew for a DIY postcard swap (http://embracetiger.blogspot.com/2010/02/finished.html). This one is even better, so is the quote. It's something I am needing very much right now, I think I am going to draw another postcard just for me. Thank you for you oh so inspiring blog!

    You must have something up your sleeve. I'm sure whatever it is you will do it gracefully, as usual.

    Thanks for the encouragement. Today has been a day evaluating my willingness to take risks. I took a risk today and realized I was ready to soar. It felt so good-a definite confidence booster.

    Last year it was your post about the fish bowl that inspired me to follow my dreams - today you have nudged me towards the next step when I was hesitating - Thank you for both! xx
