What I learned from my Skydive experience


Last year I got 'Skydive' as a gift from two of my close friends. It was on my bucket list and they were kind enough to gift me one of the most amazing experience in my life.

Here are few lessons I learnt from my skydive

  1. Overcoming Fear : Skydiving pushes you to confront fear head-on. By jumping out of a plane, you realize that fear is often just a barrier in your mind that can be broken, helping you build confidence in other life challenges. Embrace challenges in life, knowing that most fears fade as you move forward.
  2. Trust : When skydiving, you must trust your equipment, your instructor, and yourself. This teaches you the value of trust in relationships, in processes, and in your own abilities. In life, trust the steps you've put in place, even when you can't see the outcome immediately. Trust your preparation, training, support systems & people,
  3. Living in the Moment : The intensity of freefall forces you to be fully present, an important reminder to be mindful and appreciate the “now” rather than worry about the past or future. Being fully present helps you appreciate the experiences in life and perform at your best in any situation.
  4. Preparation is Key : Skydiving requires meticulous preparation and safety protocols. It’s a reminder that success often comes from careful planning and readiness in all aspects of life. Preparing well makes any endeavor smoother and safer, whether it’s a business, relationship, or personal goal.
  5. Letting Go of Control : The freefall experience teaches you to release control and trust the process, a useful lesson in accepting what we can’t change and focusing on what we can. Accept that you can't control everything. Sometimes, letting go can lead to unexpected joy and freedom.
  6. Pushing Boundaries : Skydiving encourages you to go beyond your comfort zone, which can inspire you to embrace challenges and push limits in your personal and professional life. In life, small changes in habits, perspective, or attitude can have a profound impact on your journey.
  7. Enjoying the View : After the adrenaline rush, the parachute opens, and you can take in the scenery—a reminder that moments of peace and beauty often follow life’s most intense experiences. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Amidst the challenges, don't forget to take in the beauty and excitement around you.

Skydiving shows that pushing beyond comfort zones, trusting the process, and focusing on the moment can reveal the best parts of life.

Last but not the least have friends who helps to tick your bucket list - Thanks to them who gifted me this lovely experience

If you have done skydive or any other adventure sport - What has been your experience?

12 Week Year Concept from the Book 12 Week year

The 12-Week Year is a transformative productivity concept that condenses a year’s worth of goals into 12-week cycles. Its importance lies in its ability to enhance focus, accountability, and results. By shortening the traditional annual planning horizon, it compels individuals and organizations to act with greater urgency and precision. Here’s why it’s important: 1. Sharper Focus: The 12-Week Year forces you to prioritize and set specific, achievable goals for a shorter timeframe. This heightened focus reduces distractions and helps maintain clarity on what truly matters. 2. Increased Accountability: With frequent goal check-ins and performance tracking, accountability becomes a natural part of the process. This ensures you stay on course and take ownership of your progress. 3. Adaptability: In a rapidly changing world, the 12-Week Year promotes agility. You can adjust your goals and strategies more frequently, responding effectively to shifting circumstances and opportunities. 4. Moti...
