Another MAGIC Hundred Goal Achieved… 3, 2, 1… Bungeeeee!
Well, here we are on day 6 of my latest MAGIC Hundred Goal Achievement Adventure where I’m over the moon to say that I’ve achieved my 10th MAGIC hundred goal today… and a seriously cool one at that!
Today I literally took the leap at achieving a pretty long-standing MAGIC hundred goal by finally throwing myself off of a 50metre crane and completing my very first bungee jump out here in Phuket, Thailand.
I’ve gotta tell you, as a soldier I’ve done all kinds of scary things out of helicopters and planes and on top of buildings, cliffs and all sorts. I took my eldest daughter Kayleigh on a 14,000ft freefall jump over the Great Barrier Reef when she was just 15 and I’m pretty much game to try most things.
I’m certainly not scared of heights, that’s for sure!
Yet this titchy, little 50 metre crane really had me giving the old fear muscles a workout today, that’s for sure : )
It must be something to do with the proximity of the jump or throwing yourself out on just a piece of rubber band but I’ve got to tell you, for me at least, this was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done.
What you don’t see from the video (my wife Deana was so scared that she flicked the record button off just before I got ready to jump) is that I didn’t jump on my first attempt. I froze, right there on the edge with my toes dangling out there in space.
I had to sit back down, compose myself and use every ounce of self-mastery to make the jump possible.
That said, I knew that it was never an issue of NOT jumping. I refuse to let fear of anything keep me from what I want from my life and so whenever I’m scared I’ll always just go ahead and push through it.
And as always, the fear proved to be irrational and unfounded.
I had a great time, a great experience and most of all conquered my mind yet again.
A great way to start the day! : )
Whether your goals are crazy like bungee jumping or something a little tamer (or maybe even wilder!) I know that some of them cause you fear that paralyses you into the ‘what if’ mindset of procrastination but hey, sometimes you’ve gotta just jump.
Unlike bungee jumping, most of the goals we set for ourselves in life are pretty mild and won’t result in anything worse than failure to achieve them. And if you fail? So what!
Get up, have another go and another and another.
The real beauty of life is that you get to have as many go-arounds as you like in your attempts to create the life you want.
Don’t let fear of anything stop you getting what you want.
Start today!
Truth, joy and love

I think I’ll keep my goals a little more physically gentle, but seeing your jump was inspirational – keep leading the pack!
