Let’s get one thing straight. Skydiving is NOT for the faint-hearted. It takes serious balls to leap out of the plane and hurtle towards the ground at 120mph! In that very moment, your brain cannot wander; there are no distractions, all those pesky “what ifs” are left behind with the plane, and you finally feel FREE to exist without a care in the world. Just you, the wind, the sky, and gravity pulling you home. Overanalysing situations, criticizing yourself for imperfections, those constant comparisons to others, endless POINTLESS scrolling, doubting yourself… ALL. FADE. AWAY! You are FREE, you are flying. You are ALIVE to the fullest.
In this blog, I will show you why it’s more important than ever right now to live presently in a world full of distractions and how you can achieve that.
Presence is the Ultimate Act of Freedom
To live presently in a world addicted to distraction is a rebellious and liberating act. Skydiving forces you to surrender to that moment. It teaches you to “live for the moment” and in doing so, you realise that the very moment is where all your living exists. That is where your true power lies. Where you have FULL ACCESS to “being” as human beings were meant to. So yes take the leap of faith and fall into freedom because skydiving teaches you that the moment is something to live in. It’s not a checkpoint, it IS the destination to your present self.
STOP Wasting Time
How many of us wait for the right time to move on from the shitty relationship, the job we loathe, the lifestyle we crave? We wait and we procrastinate and stay stuck in annoying, boring yet comforting patterns of behaviour that leave us feeling weak and pathetic. Only to realise that when the big “C” diagnosis comes knocking, or the dreaded affair your partner has been having is exposed, the redundancy package offering you peanuts because you were never truly valued by the company, you wasted all this time. The truth is, life will not wait for you, so why are you waiting for it?! Skydiving doesn’t wait either. You don’t get a chance to stop mid-air to check your emails or the likes on your insta feed, you have to leap or not. Life is like that now. It is begging you to live fearlessly and jump. To stop sleepwalking through life, allowing fears to dictate your reality. To make use of your money on something that feels like a beautiful, terrifying and undeniably real – fall into freedom.
Its better to have lived than have never lived at all
Skydiving is the ultimate way of being present, but it’s not the only way. When it comes to living in the now, your thing might be travel, music, starting a new business, or finally quitting your job. Whatever it is, it is time to go and invest in that. At the end of the day, skydiving teaches us that it’s better to dive than never dive at all.
Just jump !
Whatever it is you want to do, GO FOR IT because the only real moment you can act in, live in, change in, is THIS one. Everything else is a wasted distraction.
