I just got back from a family trip to Vegas and while we were there we drove UTVs in the Mojave. While driving, you have to stay a good distance away from each other because of the dust, so there are many times when you lose sight of the vehicle in front of you (you do remain in contact with the guide). As I was driving, I heard "car 3 flipped" come through on my headset....Alex (my oldest son) was in car 3. I was in car 4, so I was the first to get to him; I must tell you ladies that first hearing that and then coming upon your son flipped over in a vehicle is quite terrifying. When I stopped, he was already in the process of pulling himself out; he was pissed off and mad at himself for "pushing the vehicle too hard," but he was ok (bruises/cuts, a bit of whiplash). I was calm and knew that as long as he was ok...I was ok. His vehicle wasn't driveable anymore, so he rode with me for a bit; after some of the adrenaline had dissipated, I let him drive again because he was ready, and Greg and I agreed that it would be beneficial for him to "get back on the horse." I was really proud of myself for not freaking out and losing my shit. I didn't yell at him for being reckless, nor did I hesitate to let him drive again when he was ready.

This is huge...because before Life Coaching I would have ruminated about what could have happened. I would have told myself that we were terrible parents for putting him in that situation. What kind of mother does that? What kind of mother then puts her kid back in the car to possibly do that again? Well...me. I'm that kind of mother. From the time they were little, we took them rock climbing, rappelling, white water rafting, zip-lining, mountain biking, etc. We LOVE having those experiences with them! Yes, there is danger involved...but there is danger in everyday life.

We wanted them to have amazing experiences! We wanted them to know it was ok to be scared and fucking do it anyway. I think a very real danger is the danger of regret. The danger of looking back at your life and feeling like you didn't really "do" anything. The danger that you let your fears dictate what you do. The danger that you let those fears keep you from living life and experiencing all that it has to give!

Don't let fear keep you from living your life! Don't let those fears keep you from experiencing all of the wonderful things that you could be experiencing! Feel the fear and fucking do it anyway!
