Challenging Yourself To The Limit

I have to bring you this story about facing fear of heights that attacked the bloger while rock climbing. He was climbing the rock when one friend had the safety rope and then looking down froze because of the height fear. Well he climbed anyway and this is the motto that he took from the story to all the times in our lives when we are faced with fear but we cope anyway with the help of mentors, friends and other safety nets that we create.

With my companion, fear, I climbed and reached the top. My colleagues slowly let the slack out of the safety rope as I pushed back off the wall and they brought me back down to the ground. My muscles were twitching. My heart was still racing. And the climbing instructor said, Great job. How would you like to try it again . . . blindfolded? She wasn’t kidding. I rushed off to find a bathroom! I came back and let them tie a bandana across my eyes, lead me up to the rock, and I climbed again.

I probably wouldn’t dare.
