Jumps and Leaps

I've been thinking lately and have come to a conclusion: there is a large difference between jumping and leaping. Jumping has a much harder connotation on it than leaping. "Don't just jump to conclusions." Whereas leaping has such a graceful feel to it. "It was a leap of faith." In life you have to jump and leap a lot to overcome obstacles and keep moving forward, but should you leap more than you jump, or jump more than you leap? Although leap sounds graceful, it also sounds timid. Why touch anything with only half your heart? Jump into it and immerse yourself in it, see what happens. On the other hand jumping is quite a commitment, you land with to feet. When you leap, you only have one foot forward and the other safely behind you so that you can't fall. Could it be dangerous to jump? When faced with a decision of applying myself to something, or applying myself to a relationship, I wonder do I jump or do I leap? And I also ponder, what have I already jumped or leaped into?
