Biography
"Every single day, there are decisions to be made in life. I see two options, the safe choice that comes with a guarantee, and the hard choice with an unknown potential. It's as if I'm blowing up a balloon that seems pretty big already and between each breath I have a choice of either tying it up and having a pretty balloon or breathing in that extra breath for a more spectacular balloon but knowing that it could pop at any moment and be lost forever.
I have experienced more than I ever imagined with those hard choices… those extra breaths… and with that an incredible amount of tension and stress waiting to see if it all works out.
I make choices based on faith rather than knowledge or wisdom. I am secure in my knowledge that I can survive jumping off the 2nd floor of a building. My wisdom is telling me I won't survive jumping off the 10th floor. My faith tells me I won't know till I try and that is what lets me experience life. I jump hoping to hit some trees on my way down before landing in a pool of Jello."
