I got conned into doing the highest bungy in the world and I loved it

Have you ever considered bungy jumping?

THE FLAT OUT NO!
"No! Are you crazy, you wouldn't find me anywhere near the edge of a bridge"

THE SARCASTIC REALIST (ARE YOU NUTS)
"Yes… but who in their right mind would voluntarily jump off of a perfectly good bridge"

THE UNDERCOVER ADVENTURE SEEKER (Afraid but conn-able?)
"Yes… I think I'd like to do it, but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to actually jump…"

THE blasé EXTREMEST
"Ah yes of course, I've done it a few times…"


So I made it look like I was THE FLAT OUT NO, but I was actually THE UNDERCOVER ADVENTURE SEEKER and turns out I was just AFRAID BUT CONN-ABLE.

We arrived at Bloukrans Bungy site and started filling out forms. I was still busy deciding weather or not I was going to sign and pay for this stupid idea, when my jump was paid for and I had signed the paperwork.

*%^$!

The wait was hell, actually it was all pretty much terrifying, until the bungy cord took up stack and I was bouncing up and down, crying and laughing at the same time.

I can't say I jumped but I did get pushed ;) regardless it was incredible!!! (216m btw and the highest in the world)

It was a cleansing experience, it puts life into perspective and makes you reevaluate your priorities (well it did for me). So my advise to anyone and everyone is to go for it! Jump, get pushed, fall, just do it! 

Life's to long without thrills in it…

CAUTION!!!

A couple of years ago I came across a quote (unfortunately I don't know by whom) 

"Most of the things we worry about Never Happen"

This stuck with me. I was raised to be cautions, but it's not in my nature. 
These two parts of me have a good go at one another more often then not, and often the cautious side wins..

I've identified that I am cautious and that I'd like to be less cautious. I feel that "fear" often limits your experiences and we do truly miss out on life.  The picture bellow jumped out at me, it reminds me of the benefit of "throwing caution to the wind".

 I'm not afraid of heights, but why am I so afraid of falling…
