Old Writings: The Waterfall
I found this among some old papers. I wrote this when I was fifteen at Walt Disney World. Still it is a good thought.
I was standing near a pool at the marriot hotel in orlando. I was watching kids jump from the ledge through the mini-waterfalls around the pool. I associated that with challenges. Challenges that I face in my life and it came clear to me that I can do whatever it is that I’m trying to do. The challenge is just a speed bump, block, wall or waterfall. All I have to do is jump through. I got that from watching the kids jump through the waterfall. They were more apprehensive about jumping through the waterfall into the pool than they were about just jumping in the water. It might have something to do with the blurred images through the waterfall. That where I got the association. I compared them with not being able to see past the challenge. In order to overcome a challenge you must first see the other side, after the accomplishment and then decide if you want to continue, without even jumping through a waterfall.
