When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly. Patrick Overton
About This Quote

This quote is about faith and trust. It is a call for belief in trusting in yourself and what you believe in so that you can take the first step into the unknown. The unknown is where we start when we begin. We can choose what we want to believe and what we want to do, and we can decide whether we will fly or stand upon something solid. There is no reason why we can’t believe that there will always be something solid for us to stand on.
