The trick is to keep just enough foothold in your comfort zone that you have enough support for the next step up.

I’m feeling inspired about making decisions to get places that I normally wouldn’t see a clear or easy path to, but I might like to see, all the same. I’ve had some ideas for some fun and maybe exciting things to try, but I haven’t had a strong plan on how I’d make it happen — the details really aren’t clicking together just yet.

Today though I ran across a couple quotes that help nudge me along to going forward anyway:

I like to say that if you can connect all the dots between what you see today and where you want to go, then it’s probably not ambitious enough or aspirational enough.

– Shantanu Narayen (CEO of Adobe)

My goal is to do one thing every day that kind of scares me.

– Maigread Eichten (CEO of energy drink company FRS)
