(This is our favorite lake, filled with snow melt off. It freezes parts off, if you know what I mean.)
I was going to narrate this entire scene but thought it would be best left without words. I think you know what it might be like to work up the courage to take the plunge while others are watching. While they are waiting (and heckling) for you to toughen up and get your bravery on you finally show up and show off.
Besides, the plunge is not for them anyway. It's for you. You want to prove to yourself that you have got what it takes to do it.
And you want to feel the joy of the accomplishment.
(Even though it leaves you with a massive brain freeze and a mouth full of cuss words.)
In case you need to see it in real time...
I remind myself of this every day:
Pay no attention to the hecklers that live inside of your head. You possess what it takes to show up to your own life and take a plunge or two. It's time to get your bravery on!
