So I was thinking when people talk about just taking a leap of "Faith" Bungy Jumping is definately one way :-). When was the last time you lived life on the edge a little? Took a leap of faith into the unknown? I don't neccessarily mean going bungy jumping as it's definately not everyones cup of tea :-)
but just doing something that is out of your comfort zone, something that may even scare you deep down, but you knew if you did it you would feel WOW!
It is when we step out on the edge and take few leaps of faith in life - is when we discover our real inner strength and unleash the power within us. When you live a life of faith you are not living in fear!
There are 2 main emotions humans tend to live in - Fear or faith! Both very powerful and strong influences. Fear can be very paralysizing to us - and unfortunately most of us tend to live in a lot of fear. On the other hand there is "Faith" which overcomes fear. We were not created to live in fear but a life of Faith!
When I took the big jump off the Auckland Harbour Bridge - I had a lot of fear initially I mean can you blame me? just the thought of jumping off a bridge head first into the water with only a rope tied to your ankles could trigger a little fear don't you think? ;-) hehe. But then I realised how awesome it would be to face my fears because I would rather be an overcomer to "Feel the fear and do it anyway" rather than living in fear of the unknown and never taking any risks in life! Because what I have discovered in life is that when you overcome your fears whether big or small they are usually your biggest breakthroughs in life and the most exhiliarating and WOW experiences you will never forget. "Life is either a daring adventure of nothing at all" When I took the leap of faith and jumped off the Harbour bridge - the few seconds free fall from the top of the bridge to the bottom touching my hands in the water was soo very unbelievably WOW! I couldn't wipe the grin off my face for days :-) It is in those few moments that remind me once again what life is all about!
When we are at the end of our lives we are not going to remember every single detail of the life we lived, but what we will remember is the magical moments that we captured along the way. My wish for you is that your life will be filled with magical moments and WOW experiences by taking leaps of faith by breaking through fear and living a life a little on the edge filled with adventure, fun, joy, bliss and freedom. Freedom only comes when you are no longer trapped in fear and allowing yourself to live the life of dreams based on your terms.
