Every leap involves a little bit of uncertainty. But just because there’s uncertainty doesn’t mean we need to jump stiff-legged with our eyes closed. We can aim, we can cultivate vision, and we can plan for soft landings.

It might not always turn out the way we’d like, but there’s a lot we can do to avoid sprained ankles and broken legs.

Leaping is part of any meaningful endeavor. But the courage to leap doesn’t have to come without a plan to land; in fact, it shouldn’t. We can learn to do both.
