#Leap Of Faith

Leaping Past Doubt to Meet the Unexpected

Kierkegaard’s line begins by treating hesitation not as failure but as a meaningful boundary: the moment when thought has analyzed all it can, yet still cannot guarantee an outcome. In that pause, the mind tries to protect us with reasons, forecasts, and contingencies, but it also quietly limits what we’re willing to attempt.

When thought hesitates, it signals that we’ve reached the edge of what can be made safe and predictable—precisely the edge where something genuinely new might enter. [...]

Choosing Faith Where Doubt and Longing Meet

Describing faith as a “chosen footstep” emphasizes human responsibility. Instead of portraying faith as inherited tradition or social habit, Kierkegaard insists it must be personally decided. This choice happens in the inward space he calls subjectivity, where each individual faces anxiety, ambiguity, and possibility alone. Much like Abraham in *Fear and Trembling*, who chooses to trust God without external validation, the individual today must also decide: to remain immobilized by uncertainty or to step forward in trust. Thus, faith is dignified as a free act rather than a passive acceptance. [...]
