How a Bali-swing experience taught me to let go of my fear and just do it! With a fear of heights, I stood gingerly on the ledge. I was nervous about climbing onto the swing that was perched way above the rice paddy field. My knees felt wobbly. Then again, it was too late to back out now. I was at the Bali-swing theme park with my girlfriends and all of us had agreed to do it. My girlfriend, Vanessa, was the first to get on the swing. I was next in line. As she got off, she offered this advice, “look up so that you don’t feel afraid”.
