Makes me think of one of my favorite moments in Sandman by Neil Gaiman – it’s in a story about a playwrite who keeps dreaming about falling off a cliff in a dream, and wakes up before it happens. He almost gives up a huge breakthrough in his career because he’s afraid. The beautiful moment at the end of the story gives you the idea: “Sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”

I’m at a leaping moment in my own career, and I think about this a lot.

I’ve jumped off metaphorical cliffs in a lot of different ways in my life, starting pretty young, and I can’t think of a single instance when it hasn’t paid off. It has also always involved a certain period of scariness with the air whooshing past me and not knowing where I was going to land, though, too.

Keep up the good advice, it’s wonderful to get support from another nonconformist!!

Great job, it’s quite an accomplishment to speak for over 10 minutes in front of an audience and to make them feel emotions and reactions. Very inspirational!

Thanks, too, for the link to Jonathan’s presentation — also very inspiring.

Great talk and a very powerful point about the Strawberry; worthy of deep reflection.

Great job on with your talk. I also appreciate that you are not afraid to share links to other awesome people.
