Summary

This quote captures the essence of taking risks and embracing uncertainty. It suggests that true living requires leaping into the unknown without any guarantees, and relying solely on one's own abilities and instincts to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. Just like building wings while falling from a cliff, it encourages us to be adaptable, quick-thinking, and resourceful in adapting to new situations. It underscores the idea that growth, discovery, and fulfillment can often be found outside of our comfort zone, urging us to embrace risk-taking as a means of personal and spiritual growth.
