Ever since I was a young boy I feared heights. I feared heights till I found a solution. I remember when we went for an occasion, a wedding ceremony,the ceremony was held in the church but the reception was to be held at a different location.
I followed my parents in our car to the reception grounds. When we arrived there, it was one of the best hotels in town. The hotel was a ten storey building. It had stairs and an elevator too.
I was happy that we were finally at the venue, ready to eat everything possible. But my fear came to the fullest when my Dad told us the reception was going to hold on the last floor of the building. I didn't join them that day even after my parents tried to convince me. I waited in the car till they returned.

The reason I fear heights so much is because my grandparents used to tell us stories of how the best palm wine tappers died when they fell from the palm tree. I used to also see in newspapers how people die from plane crashes and the collapse of buildings. My house is the only storey building I feel safe being inside.
Now I'm growing,I have tried to let go of my past,the fear. I have set out a few measures to get myself out of this fear. Now, I know it just has to do with my mindset. Now I believe that if it is possible for me to get to any height safely,it is therefore possible for me to come down safely unless I jump down the height myself. I just changed my mindset and quenched my fear. I also engaged in acrobatics to help myself too.
