I once took a friend to the CN Tower in Toronto. We waited in line, took the elevator up 1,500 feet, and headed toward the famous glass floor—the one that lets you look straight down to the ground.
We froze at the edge. Even though people were standing, sitting, and lying on it, our legs refused to move. My thoughts kicked in:
“It’s just a floor. In fact, it’s probably the strongest one here. The fear? It’s not real—it’s an illusion.”
So I stepped on it. Then I walked. Then I jumped. And I was fine.
There was no danger—just the perception of it.
As I looked around, I saw others stuck at the edge. Not because they weren’t capable, but because their fear convinced them they weren’t safe.
And it made me think:
How many times do we hesitate in life not because something is truly risky—but because it feels scary?
How often do we stop ourselves from taking a leap, starting something new, or making a bold move… simply because we’re standing at the edge of a glass floor, one that gives the ILLUSION of threat – not a real threat, but one that messes with our perception?
If there’s a step you’ve been afraid to take, maybe this is your sign. Let’s talk about what fear is whispering and what’s actually true.
