#### <center> Have you done something absolutely crazy that you learned a valuable lesson from?</center>

<br>
Just last month I bungy jumped at the height of 43metres down to Kawarau River in New Zealand. It was the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life but I left feeling wanting to do it again. The chilling part is the step towards the ledge—I can still play back the nervousness every time I recall the memory.

Now when I flashback the memory, I can relate what it teaches me about life. 

#### Don’t Over Think In Life
<br>

Over thinking can be the biggest obstacle to growth. The more I over analyze things, the more time my mind plays tricks on me and turn out questions and excuses were thrown just to buy some time. In taking that leap, one must be brave and trust the rope attached to you. Over thinking will also lead to giving up. For example, before the jump, my buddy searches the internet about “fatality in bungy jump” and told me about it. My response was “why the heck you do that?” I made it clear that I was nervous too but I only will think of it near the jumping day and not before. 

Sometimes in life, we let certain things flow as it is. Take that jump with your eyes close if you must, open it up when it’s done.

#### Don’t Let Fear Stopping Your Ambition
<br>
Fear of the unknown can lead to slow growth or not grow at all. Change is the buzzword here.  This leap of faith teaches me that my fear is valid and the only thing I can do it facing them with poise. A lot of people say that I am crazy for doing it but what I told them is “you’re crazy for not doing it”. 

So in life, there are a lot of changes needed and we often witness people unwilling to accept change due to fear. Whether is changing workplace, start the life elsewhere, getting married and etc, these fears create a mental blocking in our brain—it’s time to not let fear get to us.

#### Have Faith
<ber>
Once you made the decision, have faith that everything will work out fine. In this scenario, have faith in the cords that have been attached to you. Life itself is full of uncertainty and a risky endeavor at times. If you have made a decision about your path, have faith that it will work out fine. 

#### Let Go
<br>
_“Let go and let God”_

We can only carry so much on our shoulder as human. Carry your burden and let it go at some point. Bungy jump is the ultimate “letting go” situation. Let go of the negative thoughts, stresses, burdens and maybe expectations and throw it away. 

#### Live The Moment
<br>
Enjoy everything you do even for bungy jumping.  Right after you jump, the cords will zap you back up creating a swing momentum and you left swinging left to right. The only thing you can do is enjoy it and scream your hearts out. There is nothing wrong with screaming (I do it all the time), , in fact, you are forced to show an emotion—just like being in a Ghost House. YOLO might be the word used by people nowadays and at certain times I do agree with this expression.

Never in my wildest dream had I thought I can fulfill this bucket list of mine, as it is hard to find a buddy with the same interest. But to my relief, I have done it and it has taught me a lot of important life lessons.

_FYI: I'm not asking you to bungy jump as it is not for everybody._

Love,

Jen
