I came across this book called Between Trapezes today. We've seen trapeze artists do amazing things. Watch carefully, and you will notice there is always a time trapeze artists are between trapezes. They must let go of one trapeze so they can grab onto another. This is the only way they can be successful. And, it's what you must do to be successful.
This metaphor of the trapeze also applies in life. You must first learn to let go before you can move onto the next stage in life. It's a scary thought. A scary thing to do. Especially when you're in a good place and everything is going well. So what happens when you let go but don't catch the next trapeze? I suppose you'll then just climb back on and try again. But that between trapeze time, is truly nerve wrecking. But without letting go the old one, you'll never find out what's waiting for you on the other side.
Letting go of my home, my old life, and flying solo reaching for the next trapeze. Ready... 1... 2... 3... let go!
