Spent the past 24 hours at a ropes course with my student staff. I remember in my heavier days being terrified of ropes courses because of the physical elements, especially “the wall.” However you need to put your trust in the team.
I always loved being a spotter, lifter, and especially a puller. Getting lifted/pulled less so, however over time my “challenge zone” in an activity like this has become a “comfort zone.” I love being able to push and support others as they face heir comfort zone. I also love being an example and also showing my team that I trust them to help me get over the wall.
In this case the challenge is a 13 foot flat surface, but we all have challenges that seem insurmountable in front of us. The important part of life is realizing that we are all in it together, there is strength in numbers.
