I finally got up the nerve to go skydiving. My instructor told me to roll up the plane window when I was ready to jump. I looked down (Im not sure how high I was but there was a honey-bun sized football stadium if that says anything)... "What if we get sucked out of the plane?" And he smiled, "we were headed that way anyways!"
His little joke made me realize that I should take every little risk, no matter how life threatening. Don't be afraid to jump from a plane, bungee off of a bridge, free climb up a mountain... cause if you were to die, you were headed that way anyways.
