Come to the edge, He said. They said, We are afraid. Come to

Summary

This quote demonstrates the power of pushing oneself out of their comfort zone and taking risks. "He" encourages others to step out of their fear and come to the edge, symbolizing the unknown and unexplored opportunities in life. Despite their initial hesitation, they trust him and take the leap. The act of being pushed represents the gentle nudge or encouragement towards personal growth and success. In doing so, they discover their own abilities and soar beyond what they previously thought possible, experiencing newfound confidence and achievement. It highlights the importance of taking risks and embracing challenges to realize true potential.
