Have you ever dreamed of sky-diving, or does the thought of jumping out of a plane make you want to run and hide? For years, I thought that people who went sky-diving were crazy. That was, until last week when I faced my fears head on and took a literal leap of faith with the team at SkyDive Carolina.
“This is it, this is it,” I repeated to myself as the plane took off.
Then the moment came when it was time for me to make the leap from the plane. I got to the edge of the door and looked down, my body locking up with fear. Luckily, my wonderful instructor had seen this all before and started a countdown.
“5… 4… 3… 2… 1… now.”
Just like that, we jumped!
Looking back on the photos that I was given afterwards, I have to laugh at the first few shots where you can see the shock and fright on my face. But, in just a few more moments my expression changes completely into exhilaration and even joy. I overcame a lifelong fear of heights in order to experience something truly wonderful.
I don’t know what your dreams are, but I want to encourage you today to jump when you get the chance to fulfill them. If you’ve always dreamed of starting your own business doing what you love…just jump!
If you’ve had aspirations to return to college and get some extra qualifications…just jump!
If you’ve always wanted to write a book or start a blog…just jump!
If you know that you should return to church and rekindle your relationship with God…just jump!
Yes, you’ll be afraid. Yes, the emotions may be almost overwhelming when you get to the edge of the door. But if you don’t jump now, you may never get another chance.
