Taking the Leap
This is a beautiful piece of photography capturing nature at work. Watching these penguin chicks hesitate before taking the leap is pretty amazing.
I can really identify with that hesitation. There have been many times when I was afraid to make a decision, wondering what would happen if I stepped off the edge. And more than once, I discovered that not only did I survive, but that taking that leap was exactly what I was supposed to do.
You’ve probably experienced that fear of taking a leap, too. If you have, I’d love to hear your story.

Fabulous video. It's amazing that something like this is only coming to our awareness now that drones can spy on what's happening below. A great use of videography with the help of military technology.
I appreciate you giving us this example of "jumping in both feet" to encourage us all to do what needs doing if fear is what's holding us back. Somehow in this example, there is also a message of divine timing with all the penguins coming to the cliff as a community and understanding that the time was at hand.

I'm glad you pointed out divine timing; that it was for sure. It's hard to wait for it sometimes, but when it's the right time, that's the time to leap.

Oh my gosh....this literally took my breath away.
What courage these chicks have. It certainly shows there is something to be said for community.
Being the queen of fear most of my life many things I did felt like a leap! I grew from each experience and like the penguins, most of the time enjoyment and pleasure greeted me on the other side.
Thank you so much for posting this beautiful video.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I was stunned when I first watched it, but at the same time, I've had that experience deciding to go for it.
