I made a “life” goal list when I was in high school- .

Some of them I have “checked off”

and some I have not.

I’m not even kidding you guys-- one of the goals on the list was “to go down niagra falls in a barrel” so I guess I’m kinda glad I haven’t accomplished all of them. .

Like the other 78% of the population, one of the goals was “go skydiving” and almost ten years ago when I was in college- I did it. .

So, when I watched this clip today- it spoke to me-

I can practically relive the excitement that was so properly mixed with equal parts of fear, and I think to myself-

that’s similar to the same feelings I have today about certain things that I want to pursue. .

This video is a 10 sec reminder for me to just “jump”

---to “feel the fear---BUT DO IT ANYWAY”

Because there’s no way I can live this life without fear--(contrary to what most of my middle school t-shirts claimed) but I can learn to accept that it is along for the ride while also getting better and better at telling it to “TAKE THE BACK SEAT BUCKO- I may let you sit on my lap every once in a while-- BUT You’re not drivin’ today!” .
