Standing on the edge with sweat on your forehead looking down, down, down into a deep blue pool of water. Count down, 3, 2, 1 and... do you jump off the cliff into the certain fun? Do you know that combined feeling of fear and excitment in this song? This is my inspiration this week. I hear a splash of a cannonball but I just watched the music video and the playful but serious aspects are portrayed in that same exact smile of fear and excitement. Watch it below and read what I think this feeling is about:

1. Run before you can fly
• Smart people don't wait for good things to come, they go out there and get them. Almost always this means due diligence and practice practice practice. So you know you have to take on the small challenges that look scary before you can take on even greater and bigger things.
2. Not afraid to crash and burn
• It isn't that you have no fear, instead it is acting in spite of it. Saying to hell with it to stepping out anyways. Trying new things means you assess your risks, ask what if, and then carefully disregarding them, haha!
3. Enjoying the journey
• Half the fun is getting there! You know the struggle and the work and the dream is what earns you the reward and you will look back on the fond memories and emotions that led up to the final moment. Here's to taking a big breath, taking a chance, and running for it head on!
