Someone has always dreamed of skydiving someday! He’s wanted to do it since he was a little boy, and eventually, he booked himself this major event.
On this day, he completed all the training courses before skydiving and felt both nervous and excited.
”Dreams are about to come true, dreams are about to come true,” he muttered to himself over and over as the plane took off.
As the plane climbed higher and higher in the air, he felt more and more frightened, and he began to tremble. Then, it was time for him to jump out of the plane. He walked to the hatch, and when he was about to jump, he backed away. It is not uncommon for the coach to encourage him to return to the open hatch and start counting down for him.
”3…2…1, jump!”
But he backed away from the door again.
”Jump!” the coach begged.
He just shook his head and sat down dejectedly.
All the other skydivers jumped out of the plane, leaving him alone with an instructor.
”Are you sure you don’t want to jump?” the coach asked.
”I want to, but I can’t,” he said sadly.
”Are you sure? Why don’t you try again?”
”I want to try again, but I can’t.”
”You told me you’ve been looking forward to this moment your whole life. You know, if you don’t jump out of the plane, you’ll regret it forever Yes!”
”I know,” he replied, with tears in his eyes.
Indeed, he never had another chance.
The coach was right, he regretted it for the rest of his life!
I don’t know what your dream is, but when you get the chance to make it happen, I encourage you to “jump out the hatch” today, stretch your body, and soar freely into the beautiful skies.
