The trapeze artist falls plummeting 30 meters into the safety net. Of course, only the jumper will ever know the truth about what happened and why. What about you, the partner? Well, you were there; you were ready but unfortunately, they ‘missed’ that opportunity.
The trapeze artist that you were ‘hanging in’ there for, reminds me of people who are unable to let go of their past, so they hang in there until is too late. Timing is crucial when you are contemplating change.
How many times do we see people go so far only to never go the distance?
How frustrating for those wanting to lend a helping hand.
The reality is that if you want to change you must let go. Sadly, the timing between when we are ready to let go and finding a something to hold onto are often out of sync and we ‘miss’ the opportunity.
The truth is, if we hold onto our past, we will never get a hold of our future. To let go of the past you must have something to take hold of. And so it was with the trapeze artist.
