Leap of faith… Most of us are scared of diving into the unknown, of uncertainty, of unfamiliarity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking a leap of faith does not mean that you make your decisions only based on your feelings. It means that you surrender to your heart and soul. It means that you truly connect with your intuition.

However, your intuition does not come from nowhere. It is the synthesis of a collection of information and perceptions that you have experienced all through your life. Therefore, when you trust your intuition, you actually trust the knowledge that you have built about yourself.

I drew this “leap of faith” cartoon a couple of days before listening to the brilliant podcast of Marie Robert, a French professor, author and columnist, discussing the exact same theme (@philosophyissexy about “audacity”). In amazingly subtle and clear ways, she puts into words what I was hoping to express with my drawing. She refers to Kant, who encourages us to think for ourselves: Dare to know! (Sapere aude). A leap of faith is to have the courage to discover our own truth, to go beyond the surface, to question ourselves, and to explore the unknown. Thank you Marie for inspiring me with your philosophical chronicles.
