When you first read the article, you immediately think that you would never do what Felix did and that it was crazy. That’s the normal human reaction to dramatic actions. Twenty five miles above sea level is so high that you can see almost all of the Earth by just looking down. The problem with these reactions though is that your thoughts about this become very limited. All you feel is confusion to why Felix did this, or doubt that you could ever do he same. What you immediatly saw clouded what your thoughts about the good sides to this.
When I really started to pay attention to this, I noticed how beautiful it was up there. "I wish you could see what I can see," Felix said before he jumped. "Sometimes, you have to get up really high to understand how small you are." When he was up there, he wasn’t freaking out, he was paying attention to the scene, taking in as much as he could before he couldn’t see it anymore. He learned as much as he could before he was back on Earth.
After reading this article, I felt really inspired. When Felix said that you needed to be high up to realize how small we are, it put a whole new perspective into my mind. I recommend watching the video and reading the mini article that came with it. It inspires to look closer at lots of experiences that are extreme. And, to also not be afraid to try some of them. There is a hidden beauty to all.
