From your current point of view, pursuing an opportunity that lies before you seems risky.It's not easy to make that leap of faith, but it might be the best thing to do.
Step 1: You need to figure out what motivates you.
If you're about to make a leap of faith, ask yourself if it's motivated by fear or love.It is easier to follow through on decisions motivated by love.Fear must not be the only thing pushing you forward, as every leap of faith will bring a little fear with it.If no one else was watching or commenting on your decision, would you choose to take this leap?If you were to make a decision with no audience, it would probably be based on love.
Step 2: There are facts to look at.
Facts and reason remain consistent despite the fact that emotions fade with time.There is always a risk in taking a leap of faith, but there should be some factual evidence to support the possibility of success.If you jump from an airplane or bridge, it would be suicide, but putting on a bungee cord or a parachute makes it riskier.Don't make the leap if you will definitely fall.You can consider the leap if you have enough support to break your fall.
Step 3: Take the little risks.
The simplest tasks have a risk factor.Do you take daily risks that you have grown accustomed to?You can see that you are already capable of confronting potential dangers if you recognize the risk involved.Getting in your car and driving to work in the morning presents some sort of risk.If your car breaks down, another car could hit you, or something terrible could happen when you arrive at the office.You don't let these risks stop you from going to work because they are all fairly unlikely.
Step 4: It's important to respond to well-intentioned critics.
Many people will try to talk you out of your faith, but most of these people love you and are concerned for your well-being.Don't let their concern stop you.Think back to a time when you took a big risk and it paid off.Think back to a time when you were afraid of others so you didn't jump.You felt disappointment and bitterness.Listen to the advice your loved one gives you.Ignore the advice if it makes you feel disappointed.If you're only pretending at the moment, act calm and try to assure your loved ones that you have things under control.Most of your loved ones will feel less stressed if you seem calm about your decision.
Step 5: Take a look at both roads.
Think about what might happen if you take a leap of faith.Think about what will happen if you don't.Ask yourself if the futures look better to you.Imagine yourself in a year.If you don't budge, create three different pictures of your life.Ask yourself if you could feel the most proud of the picture.
Step 6: Don't think of yourself in a bad way.
Trust in your ability to succeed.If you leave the ground expecting to fall on your face, you won't leap as high or as far as you actually could.Even if you're scared of making decisions, they should be empowering.Don't let yourself feel like you're not good enough for the dream you have.
Step 7: Act immediately.
Don't put it off.Take your leap of faith now if the opportunity and desire exist.Delaying your decision until you no longer have the chance to make it is an indirect way of not jumping.Set a date if you can't start today.If you want to remain accountable, you need to tell people about that date on your calendar.Even if the first physical step is later, treat your leap of faith as a reality.
Step 8: You should stop dwelling on the negatives.
Fixating on a thousand different things that can go wrong won't do anyone any good.You need to plan for the worst but also expect the best when you're in the middle of a transition.You might tell yourself not to look down if you're standing at a high summit.The principle should be applied here.The fall will be less successful if you look down at everything that could go wrong.
Step 9: Don't let the past go to waste.
It's not the right time to regret.If your life was already perfect, you wouldn't have taken this leap.It will be harder to look ahead and work toward the best outcome if you idealize what was.Stay focused on the present and the immediate future.You don't have time to look at the ground you left behind when you walk so quickly.
Step 10: Find support.
During your plummet, connect with people who are willing to support you.For most of the time, emotional support is what you really need to look for.People are in a state of free fall.They might have made a similar leap of faith, or they might be going through their own test of courage.These people will probably be able to relate to the fear and excitement you're feeling.
Step 11: Accept the transformation.
The free fall period that follows your initial leap will change you, but even the most painful changes are good if they allow you to grow.You will only rob yourself of the chance to mature if you resist the change.Leaps of faith are frightening and difficult to make, but difficulties have a tendency to strengthen those who work their way through them.You can begin to learn from the experience once you realize that it has its own benefits.
Step 12: Defining success.
Success is defined by how much fame or fortune you have, but those are not absolute.Even if your leap of faith doesn't allow you to live comfortably, it may still be a success in other ways.You can ignore conventional ideas of success by focusing on the positives in your life.It is possible that you are very satisfied with your family life or social life.If nothing is quite the way you want it to be, you can still find fulfillment by pursuing your passions.Your life is in a state of success if you feel nourished.
Step 13: Stop staring.
Don't compare your life to someone else's.There is no way to compare two people in the same way.One person's idea of happiness may not match your own, and even if it does, the timeline they follow to reach that point won't be the same as yours simply because you're starting from two different positions and taking different steps to get there.
Step 14: Fail, that's right.
Failure isn't enough to be accepted as an option.You won't learn to confront failure until you actually experience it.It doesn't mean that you need to mess up a big break or engage in pointlessly reckless behavior.Accepting failure as a part of life is the idea here.Accept that it will come and greet it when it does, instead of thinking it's a necessary evil and trying to avoid it.
Step 15: Let's press on.
Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, you need to keep building on your success.Staying with the path you put yourself on, turning around, or pursuing an entirely new venture is what this might mean.If you fail, focus on your next move.If you need to retrace your steps, try harder along the same path, or pursue a new path altogether, ask yourself.If you succeed, celebrate, but don't get carried away.Determine the next step you need to take to deepen your current success.
Step 16: It's a good idea to leap frequently.
Take at least one leap of faith after that.Practice will improve performance.It's easier to take risks when you do it more often.You'll gain the ability to deal with unexpected problems with experience.You will be able to walk away from each crash landing more effectively if you have experience.
