.........looking out over what seems to be an unending landscape, you know it is a long way down, you can see the cows below looking like tiny ants standing out against the green grass, the trees look like small bushes, and the streams look like pieces of ribbon thrown over the landscape and yet as much as you don't want to......... as much as your head is telling you to stop... it feel like your body has a mind of its own, and it goes right ahead and takes that last step, that step over the edge, and for that split second you are flying through time and space ...... and then you wake up with a jolt................
Why is it that is only in our sleep we are so brave, it is only in our sub-consciousness that we allow ourselves to take chances, we allow ourselves to take that leap of faith into the unknown..............
In our dreams we are able to live our hopes, our desires and our inspirations, we are able to do anything we want to because there is no risk, there is no embarrassment, we can never fail, and no one can ever tell us we can't to it ...................................
We are all born WINNERS but we are conditioned LOSERS ( Noreen Hart)
This is the saying of a really special friend of mine, that when we are born, we have endless potential, there is no limit to what we are able to achieve, the sky is the limit there is nothing that we cannot do, there is nothing that is outside the realm of possibility, and yet as we grow up we are told by our parents, the very people who are trying to give us all that they can, the very people who would go to war for us, it is our own parents that instill in us the belief that we can't do things, we can't do this, we can't do that, as a child the second word we learn after "Dada" is NO..... our parents spend the first years of our lives saying NO........ NO don't touch that, NO you can't drink that, NO you can't play here, NO you can't have sweets, NO supper is in a few minutes........... NO your to young, NO your to old.................... NO NO NO NO NO.
But the bible teaches us that in God all things are possible, in him the only limitation to what we can achieve is, our own dreams and desires, and if we had true faith............... we would not worry about tomorrow, we would not worry about what other people think, if we had true faith we would jump of the cliff of life without a second thought, because our Father will be right there beside us, holding our hand because we are His children and He is the only person who will never let us down, and no matter what we can rely on HIM ................. take the leap of faith...............
