Standing at the Edge

So now we are poised at the edge of our chosen cliff. What next?

If true lemming mentality exists, we wait. We wait to see what those around us will do. Will they stay still and watch the sunset? Will they run forward and leap to a new adventure? Or, will they simply turn around and return to their current existense, untouched by the opportunities avoided.

And then, we choose. We can follow the other lemmings. Or, we can make our own decision, separate from the group and become a lead lemming.

My life has been a series of cliff ledges. Most often I have been content to watch the sunset. Then life happens, and I find myself with things changing around me waiting for the result. It is easy to live this way and more often than not, things work out well. However, recent events are moving me to believe that eventually I will need to become the lead lemming in my own drama. There is comfortable and then there is the rut. Up til now, I have been comfortable. But that comfort is starting to look a lot like a rut. So how do I "buck up" and take the lead position?
