Nothing like preparation. Not everyone does it. I have a lot of really happy friends that fly by the seat of their pants. There is something about that lifestyle that I quite envy, but for me it does not work. Shucks, I have a To Do List for everything. I even have a To Do List reminding me to create a To Do List. These friends live a jovial life casting and reeling, casting and reeling. They change bait and river beds like I change note pads. So who is right? Well, we all are. The one thing we all have in common is a studied respect for: Know where you are going to land before you jump. That is we first study our surroundings, understanding what is required for our jump and our landing before we let go of that rope.
Now whether you are more of a willy nilly jumper like my happy friends or an artisan jumper like me, take the time to understand the elements around you. Don't ignore the
obvious. Now you would not enter a shark tank without understanding the risks would you? Then why volunteer for that high risk/high reward assignment at work without prior understanding of where it might lead. Ask to know!
Here are some jumps and landings that might resonate with you. Can you picture their surroundings? Whether you are artisan or more willy nilly, since you can't always change the jump best to prepare for its landing.

| THE JUMP. In a new relationship? Deeply in debt? Feeling overwhelmed by work? Taking care aging parents? Your teen using social media? Your marriage lacking intimacy? Feeling lost? Feeling found? Thinking of moving? | THE LANDING. Do you both desire the same destination? Do you now have a financial planner? How is your time management? Have you asked for help from others? Do you have access & passwords? When did you stop talking too? How is your spiritual health? How is your spiritual growth? Are you running to or running from? |
What suggestions do you have for safer landing? What questions should be asked and when? What landing actions should be taken? Help! This rope is getting slippery.
