Stretch!
# Chapter 96
“As you adapt to your difficult environments, you'll evolve into a new person with expanded consciousness — stretching your views of yourself and your possibilities.”
So you have leapt? We are still in the same groove here baby, so if you haven’t jumped in yet, then you need to back up a few chapters. This chapter is for those who are placing themselves in difficult, stretching epic-fail-potential types of situations. If you are running on the typical rails of no fail allowed nor sought after, then you are once again in the wrong chapter, and maybe in the wrong book.
As your learning curve of the astonishing grows, you will adapt to these self-imposed challenges, these difficult expectations you have set for yourself. Remember the diving board from when you were a kid. The low dive seemed SO high above the water until you conquered it, or were pushed in by some friend from that height. Then you moved up to the middle board, because honestly the low dive seems too easy. But whoa! The middle board seems so high!! But you conquer it too, and then move the high platform, and so on a so forth.
The difference here is that that we are moving directly to the high platform, and bypassing the lower two incrementally higher boards. That is why we are staying with the metaphor LEAPS of faith. Because the reality is that everyone who can do the low dive, can also do the high dive. We are just going to throw caution to the wind and leap from the high dive first!
After you do it, you will wonder why were you ever afraid to begin with. You world has now officially expanded. Repeat. Then repeat.
