“WHO’S COMING WITH ME?”

I can see it so clearly in my head.  Jerry Maguire desperately trying to retrieve the goldfish from the tank and once he does he turns around to face the whole office looking at him and he says whoever comes with me will experience something “REAL”, something “FUN”, something “INSPIRING” and then goes on to say “Who’s coming with me?”.  The whole office is starring at him like he’s nuts! He realizes that NO ONE is coming.  No one is willing to take that leap of faith for something greater, something better, something life changing – SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE AND SCARY.  And after a ton of silence and Jerry’s speech blown to shit, Dorothy jumps out of her seat and shouts “I WILL COME WITH YOU!”  I was starting to sweat there for a minute for poor Jerry.

I have felt so much like Jerry the past year or maybe more like the goldfish trying to escape the net because it’s way to comfortable in my fish tank life of normalcy.  Over the weekend I did a refresher hands only CPR class and I explained to one of the nurses I always felt nervous in the past to do CPR in the event I messed up.  She stood there looking at me and smiled.  I then laughed and realized how ridiculous that must have sounded to her and I said “What’s the worst thing that could happen? They die? They are going to die anyway if I don’t try.”

That’s how I feel about this JUMP into something completely different in my life. Is it uncomfortable?  You bet it is.  Unbelievably.  Will it be worth it? I have no clue.  What I do know is, I will either WIN or I will LEARN.  And with that there is no LOSING.

So……WHO’S COMING WITH ME?
