Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive? The sea has seen my like before though it’s my first And perhaps last time

Song of the day- Swim until you can't see land

So my excitement for starting to swim laps today with my big hearted friend Suzanne made me think of this song and pretty much the constant analogy that has followed me through the years of "diving in." A few weeks ago I heard this quote that went something like, "The path to your greatest accomplishment is often through your greatest fear" and I think it stuck with me cuz I couldn't get over how true that was. That so often the things we're afraid of and spend so much time avoiding, often lead us to what we were always meant to do, what could be our proudest moment. So whatever is causing you to not dive in today I say screw it and jump on into the ice cold water. You might fail, you might drown, but not matter what you'll make a splash and just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.
