The Map
My son yesterday went on a school field trip to Kings Island Theme Park for a school field trip. He came home rather disappointed.
As I dig a little deeper to his disappointment in the trip, he pulled out the map and pointed at all the rides they rode and all the rides they didn't. While he rode some of the "good ones". He stated how is group where a bunch were too scared to take on The Beast or The Diamondback. Some of the fiercest coasters Kings Island has to offer.
This morning as he rolled out of bed, he had the map of the park in hand surely re-living the moment made and the moments missed.
This got me thinking, how many of us have a map like that?
And how many of maps have more moments unlived than lived?
Fear is a crippling killer of experience. Fear keeps us from leaping, but fear also keeps us just from taking the next step.
While it is just a simple thought, maybe we need to put the map down and just get in line for that coaster, that experience. If I had to guess most of us live with the regret of things missed.
Whether it is starting a new fitness routine or a new job. It could be going on your first run or first date. It might signing up for a spin class or a math class. Don't just look at the map and wonder what it would have been like.
Start.
