Taking the Leap of Faith and the Real Value of Practicality...
Hello again, dear Steemians!
What do we mean when we talk about the possibility of something happening? How do we measure that possibility and how does that measurement affect our attitude towards it?
Chance is an interesting concept in the realm of what is possible and what is not possible. It is also a valuable asset in the hands of those who know how to utilize it.
Some people have trained themselves to only see that most inconsiderable amount of light even in the overwhelming darkness of the night, whereas some can only see the bleakest spot of dark in even the brightest of days.
It is only a matter of our viewpoint that is the determining factor of what we will decide to do with situations at hand.
Have you ever considered the idea of taking a leap of faith once in a while and trying out your chances?
A friend of mine once came up with a grand idea that could turn his life around. When he explained his idea to me, I admitted that it was too ambitious.
He knew that too. He knew it all too well. It had been in his mind for quite a while and he told me that there was a small chance of success. What hit me the hardest was the fact that he was more tempted to let go of his idea rather than fight for it.
Let’s take a look at our lives. We’ve all had these instances when we could have done something unexpected, amazing, or out of the ordinary, but were too afraid of taking the leap of faith and risking our comfort zone in the hope of gaining something better.
Practicality is important, and rationality even more so. But every now and then, some golden opportunities come knocking at our door, and in those magical instances of life, we should not really think about our chance of success. Even if it is one percent, we ought to take the leap of faith and trust in our instincts to find deliverance at the end of the road.
The world is a strange and wonderful phenomenon. The infinitely complex chain of cause and effect and time and space makes the perceivable world what it is.
But the ignorance of men is far greater than the complicated dynamics of existence, for we have essentially allowed ourselves to predict such chain of events with our tiny and insignificant minds that can sometimes hardly contemplate anything beyond our most fundamental needs.
Practicality and rationality should always be respected, but we should not be so reliant on them as to forget our instincts of courage and bravery; our surges of energy that compel us to move beyond the realms of this rationality and do things that are unlikely or unexpected.
At the end of the day, a person who values practicality above everything else can live a healthy and blatant life, consumed by the ordinariness of order, whereas a brave soul willing to take risks will go on to conquer the skies in an adventurous and adrenaline-fueled journey.
Which one are YOU going to be?
Are you willing to put your trust in your own worth and value to achieve the greatest things that have ever been thought of?
In that case, be mindful of those instances in life when opportunity shows its face, AND TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH!
A BIG HUG!

Very good post Sir, sometimes when a person is about to start a job then he is scared of whether he can work or not. This fear eliminates her faith for her.

This realization always made me uncomfortable that I do not have the courage to step forward what I want in my life.
I always wanted to start my own business, but here I am with a 9-5 job. I could not take those hard steps to establish my dream. It's still a dream.
And yeah! I valued the practicality that I am not currently able to do what I wanted to do.
You said, they live a healthy and happy life who valued practicality, and I think I am one of them, though deep inside I felt lot more uncomfortable.
Thanks for your inspiration.

Take a two-week vacation. Dedicate your time off 100% to upstarting your business. Journal what you need to get started. List in order of priority/delegation. Do step 1. Pass or fail, praise God for the courage to try.
Btw, what's stopping you from starting your business after hours?
Best regards.
Peace.
Thanks for your nice advice.
I became a mother and have too much responsibility right now. So taking leave and giving my time to other thing is not possible for me right now.
Another thing is starting a new business in my country needs many government approval. Yes, lots of courage and dedication also needed. I am not able to make it right now.
Thanks for your inspirational suggestions, this is what makes me going.

If we do not stretch ourselves we will never be able to witness all the incredible things we are capable of doing as long as we believe and lit the effort into it!

You have written a very good article.
Whether we look at our possibilities, see positive views and look at it from a negative perspective depends on us.

Excellent post @chbartist, the most important thing when making the leap of faith is to focus on how good it can be, regardless of the result, we will live quietly and without regrets for the simple fact of having tried.
A slight shift in attitude, whether good or bad, can change the outcome of our lives. The wrong path chosen can lead us in a downward spiral, far from
realising, our dreams. Thanks for a great post!
Hi dear @chbartist this is another masterpiece from you. You rightly said that we have to have faith in ourself then only we can do well and keep motivated.
Self-confidence is highly important for self motivation. Have a great time @chbartist

You are right sir if be believed in our self then nothing is impossible in this world. I know sir I am commenting after long time. But I am thinking about a great idea and I have implemented that.
I have started a competition to make reading a great experience with some extra effort.
Take a look that sir. https://steemit.com/steemit/@sumit1998/win-1-steem-in-my-every-posts-just-follow-resteem-upvote-and-comment-and-win
It will be great if you participate in that
Some people call this sacrifice, and many people take Leap of Faith...
Sometimes it is really difficult but I´m sure we can decide how we want to live our life...
If some people think that taking Leap of Faith is because nothing is in your hands to do something and get a result...
In another hand ...!! SACRIFICE is when you decided to take action an take that result with your own hands ...
We have a lot of examples and I´m just want to post one: You can get a job because it include your experience and you know you can get it ..
Another one is...: If you don´t have any experience that´s the reason you can take this part Leap of Faith, Including this I´m sure you can´t get nothing...!!!
Nobody can do the job, it is just in your hands...!!!
We know ourselves and we know how we can work our own knowledge ..
Sometimes we can take Leap of Faith just for help or thinking about others wishing them something especial we can´t touch ...!!!
Spirit..!!
Amazing @chbartist
