No Fear

flying is more scary than jumping......... ive made numerous jumps from both planes, prop driven and jet, and helicopters.....the flying part was always the scariest part......lol..... while all that is now well behind me, i will say it is quite a rush and glad i got to experience it along the way......

Jads spider dance challenge...:D............... seriously though, i dont know.....i think this is also a way of asking "what are you afraid of ? ". so i will have to think on that a while. ive done a lot of things that i should have been afraid to do, did some things to overcome the fear of them. i try not to let fear control or keep me from experiencing life. but let me think on it a bit, im sure i will get something i would like to do but was / are afraid of trying........(maybe hang gliding, i hate flying but think hang gliding could be cool, but kinda afraid, not of flying, but of who is in control more than anything.....lol)

Jad's spider dance would have me in traction and in the hospital for a month..lol

I think fear has often held me back on trying something new. I always worry it won't be "enough" or "right".

This is an interesting question, the more I think about it the more I realize that fear isn't really stopping me.

For example, I would love to go skydiving. I'm afraid of heights and have reoccurring nightmares about falling off of buildings. But I've been rock climbing and repelling numerous times despite that fear. The is a skydiving school about 45 minutes from my house that I have researched but never actually went through. It's a little bit pricey, around $500 for the classes and initial jump, and none of my family or friends have any interest in going with me. My wife is absolutely terrified of just regular flying so skydiving is completely out of the question. So I ask myself "what's stopping me" and it's not the fear but rather I'm not wanting to spend that much money on something but have nothing to show for it, not even memories that can be shared with lived ones. It feels lonely and selfish, not scary.
