It’s a leap of faith because you are giving up something measurable for something immeasurable – that’s why it’s a leap of faith.
In a world full of experts, spreadsheets, and metrics, it’s hard to make a leap of faith. It’s much more likely to feel like a drop in status or a whim when in truth it’s because you have seen something worth the risk.
Like cycling to school with the kids when the car is quicker.
Or, using sports as a tool to teach group dynamics, leadership, and agency, not as a measure of success.
The things that really matter can’t be measured and that’s a leap of faith.
