Each time I face a chasm, I tremble with fear. Then I 'look' around to make sure my safety net is in place. All that requires is asking it to be. Amazingly, I always land safely on the other side. Sometimes I am a bit shaken from the ride, but I am always safe.
That's very helpful. Always make sure you know your safety net is there. That really helps.
