do something that surprises, inspires, and terrifies me

The next time you notice something you are afraid of, don’t just face it—charge. The last time I did that was this summer, jumping in the ocean to swim with some black tip and lemon sharks (bad experience with a great white when I was younger.. sharks paralyze me when I watch them in aquariums – but I do watch them and THAT is the point). It’s a kind of raw emotion and it is worth every sensation of it.

I would feel lifeless if I didn’t fulfill this every time I come across something that makes me feel this way – daily things as well as the spontaneous free rock climbing or jumping out of a plane. It’s passion and it is life.
