Stair vs Staircase
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see
the whole staircase.”

I’ve sat on this quote for some time now, mulling it over, trying to knowwhat it means to me. The answer I came up with, is this quote is comparatively similar to when I tell people I like to throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks.
Huh? You ask?
I enjoy trial by error. I like to see what sticks and what reactions are. If I could perform case studies all day, me and my pocket protector would not be happy. Not to mention my number 2. Ok, stereotype done.
What I mean, is, I am not somebody who is interested in a two year study to determine of I should do something. I’m not wasting my time. Regardless, the data and interviews you collect in the beginning could become useless and lead you down the same path as if you just strategically threw your pasta.
Ahhh, strategically. Yes. I am not advocating under-cooking, overcooking, or a timer. Go with your gut.
So far, my gut has lead me up stairs that ended abruptly, stairs where there was only one step, and currently up stairs that never seem to have an end (which, of course, I am excited about). However, I would have never been able to find this endless staircase had I not tried a few others before.
What am I saying? Open a door without thinking and go with your gut. Risks are rewarded.
Like a Choose Your Own Adventure Book; you can always flip back and take a different route. Those who tell you otherwise, well, go say hello to them on their treadmill.
