The Leap
Today (Friday, June 3rd) is my final day as an employed person.
Wow. That just sounds a little surreal. Maybe even a little freaky.
Looking back on my long and varied career, I see now that this has been my destiny the entire time. This is what I was meant to become. My fate, if you will.
“Only in a leap from the lion’s head shall he prove his worth.”
Ever since making this decision, I have been thinking of Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade, when he steps forward off of the ledge (near the end of the movie). That moment, (oh, spoiler alert) just before his foot hits the bridge and walks across… that’s how I feel as I write this.
Will I land on a stable surface that will lead me to the holy grail so I can save my dad? Or will I fall down into the deep dark pit of doom? The only way I will ever know for sure if this is the right thing to do is to just do it. My balance is shifted, my foot pointed straight out in the empty air before me as I begin to lean toward the unknown.
