What's stopping you?
We have been telling Madison all summer that the training wheels were coming off her bike and it was time for her to ride without. Each time we were met with tears and pleading to just leave them there. Madison had a fear of getting hurt. She did not want to try something new because she knew change meant the possibility of bumps and bruises.
Much to her dismay we finally took them off. She was forced to get out there and live a little. With some direction she learned quickly how to stop herself without falling and before she knew (literally within in an hour) she was turning, stopping, and really enjoying her new found skill.
So what's stopping you from trying that something new in your life? Do you find yourself pleading, "No, don't make me change just yet. I might get hurt so I'd like to just keep things the way they are." Are you truly living life?
Madison learned a valuable lesson and all of our neighbors have noticed and come to talk to her about it. She glows with pride.
You'll probably make it far on your first try and if not you'll learn that the bumps and bruises you fear aren't as bad as you might think.
Congratulations Madison! We are so very proud of you!
Be Blessed.
