The brink is like standing at the very edge of a swimming pool, just before you jump in. You can feel the excitement and maybe a little bit of fear because you’re so close to making a big splash. It’s the point where you’re almost about to do something, but you haven’t done it yet.
Think of the brink as being on the top of a hill on your bike. You’re right at the spot where the hill starts to go down. You haven’t started rolling down yet, but you’re just about to. It’s a place full of possibilities and maybe a little bit of uncertainty, because you don’t know exactly what will happen when you start moving.
Imagine you’re stacking blocks, and you’ve put the last block on top. The tower is very tall and it might fall if you add more blocks. That’s the brink! It’s the moment where you’re deciding what to do next, and you’re balancing between keeping it steady or taking a risk. It’s a special moment of being right at the edge of something exciting or new.
