Falling Off a Cliff is Easy

Falling Off a Cliff is Easy

My five year old grand daughter jumped off a cliff. All by herself.

There was a lot of fear. A lot of hesitation. Her brother was willing to push her over. NOT what she wanted.

Finally, when she was ready, she jumped. (The cliff is a rockery in our back yard, but to a five year old it was a cliff)

Such jubilation! Such excitement! She was jumping and jumping for joy.

In this video, she attains mastery.

Having done it once with her hands in mine, and once all by herself, she is now not afraid of the cliff, and jumps over again and again.

What is in your life that is scaring you to death?

Once you have gone over the cliff by yourself - falling off a cliff is easy!!!

This Blog is About Joy

My youngest grand children were over a few days ago.

I took a video, and named it “Hippin’ and Hoppin’ As We Go Along”

But I could just as well have called it - Pure Joy. Why are they so happy? There are no toys, no expensive electronic gadgets. Just a yard with some stepping stones to hop on, and a grandpa who loves and adores them.

Here they are running, hopping and expressing the exuberant joy that children have so abundantly, and we adults can miss so easily.

I especially like my grand daughter’s spin of celebration, then a saucy little “Tricked ya!” at the end.

Over The Cliff

The first time we do something hard, it seems so scary, so difficult, so daunting.

My granddaughter was playing in our yard. I helped her down from this rock wall. She trusts me completely, so that was not hard at all.

However, when she came down, I tricked her. Instead of catching her, holding her and placing her on the grass, I let her fall with her own weight, only using my two hands in hers as a guide.

She then knew she could do it all by herself. She had basically already done it by herself with me guiding her.

But could she? Would she?

Here is the video called “Over the Cliff”

What is the cliff you are facing?

Mastery of the Hill

Mastery of the Hill

After some training and some practice comes mastery.

Keller Williams has many courses to take to learn our craft better. One of them is called Buyer Mastery, and another is called Seller Mastery.

My grand kids wanted to play on the little hill behind our house. At first going up was difficult. Going down was scary.

Then I taught them how. RUN down! Keep your feet moving. Let yourself FALL over the edge and run. It is exhilarating! They learned. They practiced. In this video they have mastery.

Notice the joy of accomplishment. The thrill of overcoming danger. The excitement of meeting a challenge and beating it!

Here is: The Mastery of the Hill!

Conquering The Hill

Conquering The Hill

The grand kids were over the other day.

Soon we were outside in our back yard. We have a small hill back there. There is a retaining wall composed of big boulders. Then steps to get up, carved out of the dirt. There is a small ramp to get up, and a steeper, slipperyer area to run up or slide down.

Both the kids were tentative at first, coming down slowly - a step at a time. I taught them that if they just ran down, making sure their feet were moving faster than they were, they could get down faster and easier. Soon they were running! Notice the excitement and joy!

It was a metaphor for life. So many things in our life seem difficult. Even impossible! We tackle them and we are slow, and clumsy and awkward. But if we keep at it, if we are not afraid, if we learn better and faster ways to do it, soon we conquer the task!

Here are my grand children - Conquering the Hill!
