Five Minute Friday: Jump

Five Minute Friday  
So I'm going to try something new. I'm going to try writing for the sake of writing here on the blog as an out let, no information or guidance today, just raw unfiltered emotion.

The Deal:

One of my favorite bloggers is Lisa-Jo Baker and one of my favorite things to read is her real raw unedited posts Five Minute Fridays. So this week I "jumped" in and am starting to participate. I felt that the prompt today was just what I needed to remind me of what I need to do if I want to change where I am and the rut I was letting myself get stuck in.

So here it is just like she says; 
"No extreme editing; no worrying about perfect grammar, font, or punctuation. 
Unscripted. Unedited. Real."

Prompt Word: Jump


Live life to the fullest, don’t look just jump. 

Sure it’s scary as hell when you know you have a plan and want to stick to it but, if you don’t take the risk of a fall then you don’t take the opportunity to receive reward. We can plan to our hearts content, but if we don’t take the chance and jump into actual action we will never truly move forward. Never see where our planning could go, never reap any of the possibilities we have sown. 

Life is scary. Life is hard. But when you leap into the unknown and embrace the rush, this is life. This is living. Take the chance. Act like you have no one else to think about and jump into the world of possibilities. Show your passion for living. Allow no others to hold you back and keep you where you are. Life and living is about going forward, not just looking there but going, doing, being a part of today and tomorrow.

Have you been stuck?  If so jump. Take action. Move. Change. 

It’s not easy to jump but it is something we all need to do from time to time to keep us moving forward in life. If we don’t jump forward with gusto every once in a while we get stuck in the past and not enough in the right now. 

So jump friends, jump with your whole heart and embrace the possibility of the fall.
And with that action you just may find that you fly.
