What Skydivers Know About Life That Most People Don’t

Have you ever pondered what you might learn about living on the ground by skydiving and leaping out of a plane?

The adrenaline rush, crossing something off their bucket list, and having camera footage proving they did something crazy are the main reasons why most individuals sign up. Yes, that is all of it. The change that occurs between the sound of the plane and the silence above the clouds, however, is what surprises you.

1. Control is overrated, and trust is everything:

You have no control over anything up there. It’s your submission that releases you. Even after entrusting someone else with your life, you continue to jump. That kind of trust is a unique form of courage rather than a weakness.

2. Fear doesn’t leave, and you just stop waiting for it to:

Any skydiver will tell you that fear is a constant. You simply become more adept at overcoming it. Skydiving teaches you to act despite fear rather than waiting for it to go away.

3. Letting go is hard, but hanging on is harder:

One of life’s most honest metaphors is that there can be no jump unless you leave the edge, and that moment of letting go comes when your feet are still rooted and your heart is already falling. “The only path to success is through.”

4. Calm isn’t quiet; it’s presence:

You would assume that falling at 200 km/h with wind in your ears would seem crazy. The odd thing is, though, it’s serene. Every moment feels sewn into your skin, and you are totally present. You are completely engrossed in the world at that moment rather than running away from it.

And the true high occurs when you land and your feet contact the ground once more. Rising to the occasion, rather than falling. Long after the jump, you still feel that way. You are unable to adequately describe it. You know, though, after you’ve been up there.

Come witness what the heavens have been attempting to convey to you.
