Go Cliff Jumping

There really is nothing like jumping off a 45 foot cliff into a body of water. You walk up to the ledge, unsure of yourself. You look down, you see it’s a long drop, you get scared, your heart starts beating faster. You’re determined to jump. Not because everyone else that has jumped before you, you’re going to jump precisely because it frightens you a little. You aren’t going to let that fear in. You are going to conquer that fear. You are going to conquer that ledge. And you are going to conquer that lake.

You jump. Your heart is pounding as you freefall. You hit the water, you plunge down and swim back up and take that first breath of air. The adrenaline is soaring through your body. Not only did you conquer the fear but the jump was fun. You can’t wait to climb up and do it again. Because now you’re alive. You’re more alive than you were yesterday when you sat in front of the boob tube watching stupid celebrities do stupid things.

The are only 2 rules when it comes to cliff-jumping:

1) Know how to swim. This should be obvious.

2) Jump the biggest cliff first. Face the tallest, baddest, meanest jump you can find and take the plunge. If you take the small ones first you will just amplify the fear of the big boy jump. Do it, get it over with, and have some fun. And it really will be fun.
