You're obviously terrified, so how do you do it? Every time you drive out there, you suit up and put your harness on, and your mind goes blank.
You're just not thinking because it's so terrifying, and you can't wrap your head around what's about to happen, so you turn off your brain and do what you're told.
After you've completed all of the paperwork, it's time to board the plane. You take off, and as you get higher and higher, you lose your ability to understand what's going on and what you're about to do.
When you get to 13,000 feet and the door opens, you almost don't feel terrified because you can't wrap your head around how you're about to leap out of a moving plane traveling 107 miles per hour. You can't imagine it, but at this point, you're attached to your guide and wearing a harness, and you have no choice except to turn off your brain and do what you know you're meant to do and pray everything works out.
And sure enough, you step up to that door and they say, "Ready, set, go," and before you know it, you're flying! They deploy your parachute, guide you down, and assist you when you resurface.
You feel invincible as if you can accomplish anything, and it's because you've just faced something you believed was impossible.
Your brain couldn't fathom how you were going to do it, but you did, and it gives you the sensation that you can accomplish anything. No goal is too huge, no dream is too big, no vision is too great if you have a plan and just go for it with all your heart.
You can do it, and skydiving gives you that feeling. That's why if you're ever given the chance, or if you have the chance right now, I recommend changing your perspective and realizing what you're capable of. This is why, if you have the opportunity, I believe everyone should go skydiving.
