Conquering Our Fears.

In a conversation with my daughter, I told her ‘As we mature it is important to live our life to the fullest‘. She knows I am afraid of heights, so she challenged me with this question. “You mean you would go up in a hot air balloon?” To which I said “Yes!” Not expecting her to follow through, on my next birthday she treated me to the thrill of this event.

I mentioned to a friend the conversation with my daughter and my fears. She answered me with “When we conquer our fear of heights we are able to better manage our decisions and life in the future.” This comment was profound and made me think about my plans for the future that I kept putting on the back burner because the critic in me would jump in with, but, if’s, and you shouldn’t.

I thoroughly enjoyed the balloon ride and was not at all afraid. This made me re-think and let go of a fear that no longer served me. I am now able to look at the new prospects in front of me, realize I no longer want to work an 8 to 5 job. Instead I want to do work that is fulfilling, rewarding and brings me joy.
