✨ From “I’m not sure I can” to “I’m so glad I did” ✨
When the chance to go on the fastest zip wire in the world came up, I’ll be honest… my first reaction was Nope.
Too many steps. Too much faff. What if I needed a wee while strapped in?! 🚽🙈
I could have played the “disabled card” and bowed out gracefully. But that’s not how I roll. I knew if I said no, regret would hang around longer than any nerves.
And here’s the thing: once I actually said yes, people bent over backwards to make it possible.
👉 I had a personal driver instead of the bus.
👉 A wheelchair appeared when I needed it.
👉 And guess what? No climbing, no endless steps — just support, smiles, and the pure thrill of flying.
💓Thanks Hanna and Nêst for being my flying partners
It reminded me of something so important:
It’s easy to focus on what feels impossible. Especially with a disability (but honestly, this applies to everyone). Things take longer, more planning, more patience. But if you ask for help and say yes anyway — doors open, adventures happen, joy sneaks back in.
And joy is always worth the effort. 💃
So here’s my invitation to you:
What’s something you’ve been talking yourself out of because it feels “too hard”? Could you ask for help, say yes, and see what becomes possible?
