Well, it ‘s the holidays and the TV listings are full of action packed adventures to keep the little ones happy!
The scene I’m taking about is at the very end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (the one with Sean Connery). Not seen it? Here’s a trip to YouTube. :-)
So, ‘Indie’ has made it to the last quest, standing at the edge of a ravine, the perception is there is no way to cross to the cliff on the other side, in his hands are clear instructions of what he has to do, and written are the words ‘with a leap of faith’.
He leaps (well steps, and the film is a lot more dramatic), he steps of the cliff and underneath his feet is a path straight to the other side of the canyon.
The path was there all along, he just couldn’t see it.
What on earth can we learn from this little Hollywood Blockbuster?
Simple, actually it’s so simple, it’s too easy.
Sometimes, especially in our small businesses we stand at the edge of imaginary cliffs, or at the point of great opportunities and we don’t move for fear, especially when we can’t see the whole picture or the perception is we may fall.
Stop being afraid and leap!
Foolish? A little risky?
If others have done it before you, there is nothing to say you can’t do it now — leaps of faith people, leaps of faith.
Faith being your trust and belief in what you are creating.
