It Feels Like Flying!
Nov 19, 2019
If someone ever asks me what it’s like to achieve a big goal or dream (a.k.a. catch a rabbit), I’ll just smile and say, “It feels like flying!”
For some, that means it's exhilarating—like the woman skydiver in the image above. And yes, that’s absolutely true. But there's another side to it worth mentioning.
Flying: Exhilarating, or Scary?
I used to be afraid of flying. And strangely, the more I flew, the more it bothered me. With every trip, I became more aware that it was just air holding up that massive chunk of metal—with me inside. I’d often have to talk myself down from panic and make a conscious choice to be at peace.
Turns out, that same feeling shows up with goal achievement too.
Not long ago, I set a goal so big it stretched me far outside my comfort zone. Right after committing to it, a strange feeling washed over me. It took a moment to place it—but then it clicked.
It was the exact same feeling I get when I step onto an airplane: that mix of nerves, awe, and the quiet realization that I’m about to rely on natural laws to do something that seems impossible.
That connection reminded me not to let fear stop me. Whether I’m boarding a plane or chasing a goal, I can trust the natural laws designed to lift me higher—if I just take that step.
The truth is, flying and goal-setting both require a leap of faith. And just like we can learn to get on the plane despite the fear, we can also learn to talk ourselves through the fear that comes with aiming high. Because if a goal doesn’t cause a little internal discomfort… it’s probably not big enough.
As I’ve heard it said many times:
“Make no small plans, for they have not the power to stir men's souls.”
– Niccolò Machiavelli, 16th century, also quoted by Spencer W. Kimball
So come with me—set a BIG goal. Let’s work through the fear and overcome the internal (and external) resistance that tries to hold you back.
Rely on the laws of success to help you achieve greater heights.
