I want to share my experience about rising
above my fear. Once I along my friends went to a tour. Our tour location
was Manali. It was during the period of winter. The temperature over
there was very low. We were feeling very cold right from the day of our
arrival to Manali. The first day we went for sports like paragliding and river
rafting. During paragliding, all my friends were very excited to take part. But
I always had a fear of heights. So, I told my friends that I would not take
part in paragliding. My friends were very disappointed with this decision. They
wanted every person of our group to participate in it. So, they started
requesting me a lot. But I was very sure about my decision. So, one of my
friends was getting ready to paraglide. In the meantime, I observed a guy who
was with his family. He had some kind of fracture in his hands and his parents
were advising him that if he was feeling uncomfortable, he can avoid it. But he
was very adamant that he wanted to enjoy the paragliding. I was shocked to see
such kind of an attitude from a person who was not psychically well. Later, he
went up the hill and took off to paraglide. I felt very confident looking at
such move by the young lad. I called my friends and told them I too will
participate in the sport. They became very happy. As, I want up to the hill, I
was feeling the fear as well as I was very feeling courageous looking at the
boy. Now, as I was about to takeoff, the feeling of fear rose. Then, I took a
deep breath of faith and started running toward the cliff for takeoff. And I
successfully took off and the feeling of being above so high was very amazing. I
would have never experienced this amazing feeling if I would have not conquered
my fear. The boy taught me a lesson due to which I was able to rise above my
own fear.
