The people on the ledges represent
those ready to take the plunge!
The height, from which you step off into the unknown,
represent the level of difficulty you are attempting
The rectangular columns below represent the options you are attempting and the spaces between represent failure
The people at the very top are gambling all
hoping for the greatest reward
The blindfolded couple on the right
are hoping to get married
The ones on the lowest ledges
are only taking a small chance
hoping to get away without a parachute
some do - some don’t
Both the “ Give up the day job” and the “Promotion” columns have someone just climbing on to them
and someone else hanging on to the attempt
by their fingertips - They all make it
but sometimes it takes a huge effort
The person jumping up and down has just won the Lotto and those sitting or lying down are taking a rest before continuing the fight
The blindfolds represent the enormity of the attempt
Taking on a partner for the rest of your life
is a huge gamble - you can not possibly know how you both develop and change through all those years - although when it does work - it is great
The parachutes represent preparation, readiness or support from outside - For example if it is a ground breaking new business venture you are attempting then if you cover all the possibilities and use caution you can succeed - Or if your marriage is in trouble there are Friends/family/councillors and if all else fails divorce - to save you - Listed above are options - there are several empty columns so feel free - add your own
We are constantly faced with opportunities and decisions and there must be something
you have always wanted to try
If you do not try, you can not succeed
So go on!
Take the plunge....now
