Rollercoasters and Gladness: A Ride to Remember

Dear friends, today I want to share a story from my past, a story that taught me a valuable lesson about gladness. It’s a story that involves fear, excitement, and a rollercoaster ride.

The Rollercoaster Ride

Many years ago, I found myself standing in front of the tallest, fastest, and most intimidating rollercoaster in the amusement park. My heart pounded in my chest, my palms were sweaty, and my mind was filled with fear. But, I decided to face my fear and take the ride.

The Lesson Learned

As the rollercoaster climbed to its highest point, my fear reached its peak. But then, as the rollercoaster plunged downwards, something remarkable happened. My fear transformed into exhilaration, and I found myself laughing and cheering with pure, unadulterated gladness.

That rollercoaster ride taught me an important lesson. It taught me that fear and gladness are two sides of the same coin. It taught me that sometimes, we need to face our fears to experience true gladness.

Applying the Lesson

So, my dear friends, I encourage you to face your fears. Whether it’s a physical challenge like a rollercoaster ride, or a mental challenge like starting a new job or moving to a new city, don’t let fear hold you back. Embrace the fear, and let it transform into gladness.

Remember, life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it’s the ride that makes it exciting. So, strap in, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride!

Until next time, remember to face your fears and embrace the gladness that comes with it.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
