There are moments in life that simply change the way you think, live and treat each upcoming day.
A video from, and subsequent conversation with a friend reminded me of one such moment - skydiving. 

Skydiving is SUCH an incredible experience that every person in the world should experience and the range of emotions is hard to describe.  Basically, the first time you decide to jump out of that plane you've resigned to potentially losing your life, and the force, the flips, the adrenaline and confusion that follows may be the equivalent to your worst "endlessly falling" nightmare.
Then the chute opens and a completely opposite set of emotions fills you.....it's completely peaceful and gliding with a renewed sense of control and the most stunning view.
When you land, you've once again been granted the gift of life, which is amazing and inspiring and it refreshing to realize how much you actually enjoy living vs dying and how resilient (and not as fragile as you previously thought) you truly are. 

Of course subsequent jumps aren't nearly as scary and the real fun starts when you are comfortable enough to experiment with your body, air and physics.
Which brings me to what started this whole conversation to begin with.... a bunch of INSANE people that have taken that whole theory to an entirely different level called base jumping!

So If you've never been skydiving then GO do it and if you've been then GO AGAIN!
