It is a poor idea to lie to yourself.

The truth is sometimes hard to digest. It stands in front of you like a mountain that cannot be conquered, and you’re so scared and sometimes dish out the blame, but you feel deep inside a strength that makes you want to climb this mountain and reach its peak and shout as loud as you can. It’s a poor idea to lie to yourself because lies are fabrications you can dress them up as much as you want to, you can make lies big and fancy and dangerously of all, believable. So circumstances arise, life throws us a few curve balls, and we reach milestones in our lives and all of those situations come with emotion and drama, but its even bigger than that mountain to face it truthfully.

How do you step off a 100-foot pole?

Well if you don’t step off then you will never know what is waiting for you at the bottom. I suppose that you could just stay up there and balance, and then every so often just change foot, or shift your weight, then there is no real change, and certainly nothing exciting in that.

But to step off a 100-foot pole, not knowing, but having hope, and carefully not having a high expectation, there is so much excitement and thrill in that, a little adrenaline too. But that is just me, you only live once, so making it a life worth living, the worst that can happen is that you do in fact get hurt, but all you got to do is pick yourself up and move on, that is how we learn to live, and is too what makes life worth living.

So how do you step off a 100-foot pole, with care, with courage, and enthusiasm? You either want it or you don’t, you either get it or you don’t, but at least you will know that you tried it, and that you lived it.
