How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole?

You fall to a pit of failure that is difficult to recover from. At each moment it is the same as making a big decision in life. It cannot be taken lightly, rushed or forced. You had some goal to achieve… some sort of plan of action. So it’s difficult to figure out why anyone would climb a 100-foot pole? It needs to be done slowly, if you decide to jump, leap or fall off of the pole, you could land up hurting yourself, the same as if an important decision is rushed into and later regretted. Though you are making an effort, the challenge is to be fully alive, fully genuine. When we take this step, there is no gap between us and the world, no more sense of confusion, trying, and effort.

Time is needed to decide how to approach a decision, steps are required in how to handle it and confidence is needed to go through with it. In our relationships, in our work and in our lives, we have no choice but to do something or say something. Doing nothing, or remaining silent is a choice; it is still doing something.  You take your time and decide on the best option that will suit you, the best approach for you and the best way that you can handle it.  You take it as it comes and make sure that you choose the easiest and calculated choice for yourself that will lead you to safety and get your feet firmly back on the ground.
