Break free from fear!

I squinted to focus on the platform that was high up there at 240' from the ground where I stood!

I longed to bungee jump for years and here was the opportunity to fulfill that desire!

Post the mandatory medical checkup, I was introduced to the instructor who acclimatized with the jumping experience!

As the elevator ascended I began to enjoy the faraway beauties of nature around the location!

We exited the elevator at the top spot and the velocity of the wind startled me!

Instinctively I looked down and the reality of the height corrupted my mind's thoughts!

A fear, thus far unknown to me, crept in and I began to sweat profusely!

My heartbeat rate increased as the instructor gently guided me to the edge of the platform!

The ankle harness, helmet, and elastic jumping rope were secured and checked!

The instructor smiled, looked straight into my eyes, and said 👇
"If you skip the jump now, you will never bungee jump"

I gathered my courage, smiled meekly, and in a low voice said 👉 "am ready"

The instructor kept his gaze on my face, and slowly released his grip on my waist harness!

The next moment I was falling face down and racing toward the ground below!

Fear shut my eyes for a few seconds till my willpower opened them to enjoy the bounce!

Finally, the jump ended with me suspended face down at 6' from ground level!

The ground team assisted me to land on my legs and I was reassured of my confidence as the legs held me steady to stand firm & tall!

The applause 👏 sounded musical and as I looked up at the platform!

The desire to jump again was intense and the fear of bungee jumping was erased!

It's true of the saying that 👇

"Face the fear to erase the fear"
