your daily rock : make many mistakes

February 5, 2014 in Daily Rock, General

Once I was at a stream with Tess on a beautiful day.

As we got near the water, I wondered if we could get to the big rock in the sun in the middle of the stream. As I pondered and rolled up my pants and wondered which small rocks to step on to get there–without getting wet–Tess started out on the rocks and immediately jumped off one of them into the stream.

“That way, I won’t spend all the way out there worrying if I might fall in,” she said.

Dang. That’s good.

Today, make many “mistakes” that will free you up from the fear of mistakes.

Jump in.

Love,
