You Get What You Give


The secret to reaching great heights
is not looking down...
and not staying still.

Sometimes the draw of
something familiar and safe can
be more enticing than the call
of a frightening, new prospect.
What has come before--
our status quo--
even when unhealthy,
can be soothing.

But only through stretching and
growing can we experience
all that there is to life.

The contentment and comfort
of staying frozen in place
is not a positive;
to achieve new heights
requires taking risks,
putting yourself out there,
and, sometimes,
being set free without a net!
