We're all standing on the edge of a cliff, all the time, every day, a cliff we're all going over. Our choice isn't about that. Our choice is about whether we want to go kicking and screaming or whether we might want to open our eyes and our hearts to what happens once we start to fall.
Your choice is not about going back to the way things were. Your choice is about hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you.
