“I am the kid who sticks her finger in the light socket. I am the person who doesn't check the expiration date on the milk. I am the idiot who has never looked before she leaped. I am the girl who is falling apart, right now.”

“Today is an ephemeral ghost...
A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not "exist."
In mundane terms, it marks a "leap" in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!
But this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability...
A day of unlocked potential.
Will you or won't you? Should you or shouldn't you?
Use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself. Take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!”

“Wings are like dreams. Before each flight, a bird takes a small jump, a leap of faith, believing that its wings will work. That jump can only be made with rock solid feet.”

“In all important transactions of life we have to take a leap in the dark.... If we decide to leave the riddles unanswered, that is a choice; if we waver in our answer, that, too, is a choice: but whatever choice we make, we make it at our peril. If a man chooses to turn his back altogether on God and the future, no one can prevent him; no one can show beyond reasonable doubt that he is mistaken. If a man thinks otherwise and acts as he thinks, I do not see that any one can prove that he is mistaken. Each must act as he thinks best; and if he is wrong, so much the worse for him. We stand on a mountain pass in the midst of whirling snow and blinding mist through which we get glimpses now and then of paths which may be deceptive. If we stand still we shall be frozen to death. If we take the wrong road we shall be dashed to pieces. We do not certainly know whether there is any right one. What must we do? ' Be strong and of a good courage.' Act for the best, hope for the best, and take what comes. . . . If death ends all, we cannot meet death better.”

“There is something darkly thrilling about standing on the balcony of a very tall building and looking over the edge with the silent knowledge that it is in one's own power to jump. Jumping is, of course, very unwise --- an act fated to resolve itself in total self- annihilation. Let there be no illusions in that. And yet one is nonetheless tempted to consider the dare.”

“Making the final decision to jump was literally “taking a leap of faith.” I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen next, but had decided to have a little faith and trust in the equipment, myself, and the world I had just leaped into.”

“The path, as the mystic poet Rumi writes, won’t appear until you start walking. William Herschel started walking, grinding mirrors, and reading astronomy-for-dummies books even though he had no idea he would discover Uranus. Andrew Wiles started walking when he picked up a book on Fermat’s last theorem as a teenager, not knowing where his curiosity might lead. Steve Squyres started walking in search of his blank canvas, even though he had no idea it would one day lead him to Mars. The secret is to start walking before you see a clear path. Start walking, even though there will be stuck wheels, broken drills, and exploding oxygen tanks ahead. Start walking because you can learn to walk backward if your wheel gets stuck or you can use duct tape to block catastrophe. Start walking, and as you become accustomed to walking, watch your fear of dark places disappear. Start walking because, as Newton’s first law goes, objects in motion tend to stay in motion—once you get going, you will keep going. Start walking because your small steps will eventually become giant leaps. Start walking, and if it helps, bring a bag of peanuts with you for good luck. Start walking, not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard. Start walking because it’s the only way forward.”

“Creative leaps are not always graceful, beautiful, or turn out the way we think they will. We often feel ridiculous. Sometimes we take leaps spontaneously, completely unprepared for the changes that happen when we do. Other times we plan and debate, trying to get all our details perfect first. As soon as our feet have left the ground, we may convince ourselves we’ve made a mistake, simply because we are not used to how leaping feels.”

“When we take intuitive and creative leaps of courage into the void, into the black holes of our own consciousness, our hearts leap out along with us. Sometimes we’re lucky and when we’re mid-leap, hanging out there in mid-air, we discover that we are not alone and never have been. Life holds out her two hands to meet us and we are caught.”

“Every now and then, we reach a point in life where we know it’s time for a change. It might start as feeling stuck or bored. We might feel sad about dreams that have not yet come true or frustrated that our old way of doing things isn’t working anymore. Or we may simply wish that we had more time, or more control over the limited time that we do have.
When we experience feelings like this, it’s natural to think they are personal, about us, who we are and the unique details of our lives. The truth is, however, we are not alone. People all over the world right now in this exact moment are having similar thoughts and feelings.”

“The key to making a change, to getting our lives to really flow, to following our inner callings always begins with an inner commitment to honor who we really are. It’s a private, solitary act. We start a conversation—a conversation with our Truest Selves.”
