the beauty of a *fearless spirit*

[shelbalah]

I have always felt that real beauty comes from having a 'fearless spirit'. If you knew you could DO *ANYTHING* and not fear it, what would you do?

I will start;

I would climb Mt. Everest.
I would run the LA Marathon.
I would hang-glide.
I would get my MBA.
I would have my boobs done (I fear needles and knives)
I would parachute.
I would drive cross country - ALONE - with my thoughts, my bags and no cell phone, in a convertable. just to have the total utter feeling of solitude and freedom of the open road before me.

I am sure I have alot more I could share, but thats just enough off the top of my head........

Take a ride in an F-14 (just know I'd lose my cookies)
Bungee jump (would love the rush but fear breaking some ankles :rolleyes:)

[sss4ard]

I have always wanted to go white water rafting and sky-diving. Well use to want to do these things, when I was much younger and my bones and muscles could take the jolts.:o

oh please try to go ww rafting! it is the most fun you will ever have! hubby and I love to go to the Kern River and the rush is amazing! we want to try to ww kayak one day after the kids get older...but that will take some serious in shape arms and skills!

[shelbalah]

oh mandy, I know I would seriously lose my cookies if I flew in one, and the thought of doing that makes me NOT want to!! throwing up is my least favorite thing to do ....lol.

[SturmFamily]

go back to school without the fear of failing to pursue criminal justice.

[Megmul]

Oh my gosh, you guys! Just do it! None of those things are un-doable (well, the F-14 and Mount Everest might be hard to manage).

Think how great it would be to cross some of those dreams off your list!

I have been bungee jumping, and I will soon have a MBA. If I can do those things, you can, too!

[CBella]

I would change the HEART of the world!

I would make a vaccine for SELFISHNESS!

I would make an education system that not only teaches reading, writing and math but that teaches self esteem, self worth and the value of doing things for yourself and for others.

I would teach people how to love without any FEAR - no holding back.

I would make 24 come on five days a week!!!!!!!!!!

O.K. maybe one of those was a teensy bit overboard!! :D

WOW - I really would love that power. You could make every dream or vision a reality!!

Shelbi, I'm with you on the driving cross country alone - would absolutely love it!
I'd also travel to as much of the world as I could get to.

[Admin 100thousandaire]

Shelbi, you had me up on the cross country drive until the "no cell phone" thing, hahaha. I would do that in a heart beat, but I hate driving.

I would scuba dive on each island in the Caribbean.
I would go on a two week "finding me" vacation in Costa Rica and do adventure activities.
I would take intercity girls on an adventure vacation (separate from my "finding myself" vacation) and teach them the beauty of relying on and trusting themselves and build up their esteem.
I would take my kids on an around the world trip and show them all the things that are out there to see and learn and to show them the different people and their cultures.

I could think of so much more.

[shelbalah]

oh Deb, I love those!

[Shea]

Hmmmmm.....never really thought about it like this!

The first thing to come to my mind is:
Preach the gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world with both humility and boldness

Among other things:
Bungee jump (too afraid of the horror stories)
Skydive
Ride every ride, roller coaster, etc. known to man until I threw up
Probably adopt more children

[Admin GroceryGeek]

I would quit my day job and work only for the GG.
I would be a stay at home mom to my 16 yo DD because she really could use me right now.
I would get the boobs done and get botox.
I would take a tropical vacation somewhere alone or with a dear friend or two and not call home once!

Great thread!

[Gadfly]

I would teach the world that the road to salvation is within themselves. That the human spirit is the greatest power in the universe, and that we don't need to look outside ourselves, to otherworldy powers for peace and clarity.

Susan, take me on that island with you!
