Life is like taking a leap in the dark.  You have to take the dare, for a life lived in the shadow of fear cannot build the emotional muscles you need so as to be able to ward off self hatred and despair.  It is because of sickness that we can appreciate health.  It is because of sadness that we appreciate laughter.  It is because of loss that we give thanks for love.   Without taking a leap there is no way of knowing what lies beyond.   We must have enough faith in ourselves to leap into the unknown ever so often.
