Stepping in or out of the fire?

I think this stage of life is stepping right into the fire. Despite all the caution to do so. Despite all the years of understanding, "Hot!," equals, "No!." The flow of water has come naturally in my lived experiences & in my mid-40s, why not? Why not do the opposite of what's done before? I think it's the only way I'll get different life results & I am beyond ready for different life results. How bout you? Fire or water?
