I wrote this story 4 years ago, but I think it's a good idea to share it with you!.
"How are you without fear? I read it's praise in the twitter!
This phrase made me meditate and I remembered the episode of my life that today I share with you.
4 years ago I was visiting with my family in Paris, and every visitor must go up to the Eiffel Tower! it is the emblematic symbol of France.
I have dread, panic, phobia of heights, I even hate going through a sewer, fear takes over me, my hands sweat, my feet get cold and I can not control my anxiety when I'm in these situations, without But it was Paris, Oh how not to go to the Eiffel Tower? all do it because I do not have to do it? also very expensive that cost the trip to waste it not? ...I thought in silence..
I raised sighs in the air as if he could control my nerves, but everything was already done, the tickets bought, the cameras ready, and already in line to finally upload, I remember that my mother-in-law joked with the height and asked if this does not fall? hahahaha.
I just laughed finally we went up to the first station and then gentlemen ... I could not go further ... that tower of thousands of thousands of tons of steel moved like a flag hoisted, oh well I remember that, and my nerves made me feel .. but the truth is that I could not take another step! I paralyze! I did not advance a meter unless I was holding on to someone, as if that someone was going to keep going if that came to the ground! jajajaj .. now it was time to go up to the second and third stations ..
well my dear friends I did not care half whether it was expensive or not the ticket, I dont´t care would return, I do not care about the photos I could have taken, I did not care about anything that was not safeguarding my life, so I decided to sit down and wait for my companions to return ... it took them an hour to return and when they came down their faces were different, the experience told by them was incredible, exciting.
I had the opportunity to do it! I did not do it! I was afraid
Reflection...
How many times have we been on the verge of fulfilling a dream, or reaching a goal but for fear of failing or falling we abandoned it? how many of us have felt an immense desire to do something really great, unique and that out of fear we simply forget it? We have all felt fear at some point in our lives, I could say that it is normal to feel fear, but to what extent should we let fear dominate the world? Think about it and meditate ... I already do it and I can tell you that writing this note scared me ... but if I did not, maybe I would miss reading the best comments of you telling me about your fears or your phobias ... no you lose nothing with trying but if it is certain that at least the experience you gain ..
A little nervous I suffer from vertigoo so I do not enjoy much of the sight
Have you been afraid?
