JUMP

Life will always have a way of throwing us into situations that will make us experience all sorts of feelings. But one actually stood out for me today after witnessing a minor accident while on my way to work. No one was hurt in the accident, but the accident got me thinking of how it might have been to be in that vehicle. Fear got hold of me instantly, thinking of the fact that I was also in transit. And as always, it got me reflecting on how much fear often hinders us from achieving a lot of things.

So many of us abandon many mission because of fear. But fear is a double-edged sword. It can either make you or break you. For those who give in, it breaks them. For those who find adventure in it, it makes them. But there's only 2 ways to it. BREAK OR MAKE. But how do you tackle fear and come out victorious all the time? Well, let me sum it up in a short poem that I wrote for myself:

Take a step back son

Open your eyes wide

Take in the view

And scale it.

It can't be that big right?

Or maybe it is.

Not a lot has caved in

Sure it's not a crack

But it can't be that big.

Either way you can't go back

And there's no way it can be fixed.

You've come far

You've seen worse

You have no choice

Backward and forward are all the same

Will you stay in one place?

Sit down and tremble like a small boy?

Or will you move to another place?

The bridge has caved in both sides

Scale it hard kid

Prepare yourself

Close your eyes

And jump

Or stay and starve.

But always remember

Do not open your eyes

Until your feet touch the other side.

WITH LOVE...
