THE LEAP OF FAITH BY PRANSHU KUMAR

Every so often, you will find yourself facing a challenge that might seem too big. Whether it be switching career paths, trying a new sport, or jumping over other (sometimes literal) hurdles, ambitious challenges demand ambitious solutions. I observed a familiar pattern in these types of challenges: There is high risk, and you find yourself in a situation where you just need to trust yourself and go for it. In other words, you need to take the leap of faith. This is despite knowing that if you miss, you will likely be hit in the face and become the butt of others’ jokes. But if you do make it, you will have done what others didn’t even try to do. This is what creativity is all about. Don’t let others intimidate you, trust yourself, embrace the risk of failure, and do what others aren’t willing to do – take that leap of faith. Who knows, others might read about it someday.
