… you continue upward. To your left and right the other trees of the forest thin out into peaks, you break through the canopy and sight extends for hundreds of kilometers in all directions. The sun fiercely hits your eyes. Up here the branches are thin and few and the giant creeks as it sways in the wind.

Your mind analyzes the moment: you are 100 feet in the air, the next branch is just out of reach, you will have to jump, any faulty move now and you will fall. This thought causes fear to enter your mind like a disease and your confidence falters. Panic takes its toll on your body, limbs shake, muscles grow weaker and twitch. You hold the trunk of the giant for dear life. In this moment your wildest fears become your reality, your reality becomes your wildest fears. But you believe that more is possible, you believe that today you can do what yesterday you could not.

All is silent for a moment as you jump. Now you are truly alive, blood pulsing, mind clear and body moving on instinct. You have stared your greatest fear in the eye. No longer allowing it to rule your life. You are free. You reach the top now moving fluidly and confidently and with one last breath, leap, spread your wings and fly. Your wildest dreams become your reality, your reality becomes your wildest dreams.
