Most people have had “big leap” moments when they look back.
It may be quitting a job that wasn’t working for you, leaving a relationship that wasn’t right.
People put off massive changes for a long time... and then one day… they reach their limit & they leap. 2/

What is that limit for you?
For most, they're pushed until they reach this moment of absolute certainty - then they'll do whatever it takes.

Those leaps end up being some of the most transformative experiences in our lives...yet we hesitate to do them again.

Doubt, second-guessing, questioning ourself. Sometimes we lack courage when it matters.

Many seek out others who will confirm their own fears or biases for taking/not taking the leap...Why are you *not* trusting yourself?
Do you know what you require for a truly happy life? What keeps you stuck?

So if today, you’re sitting there wondering...should I take the leap? Tune into your own gut, and think about your own limits & life ahead.
