Taking risks is essential for everyone because it not only broadens their horizon of knowledge but also allows them to gain new experiences to overcome their phobias. Here, I would like to talk about a risk that went through a terrible process but ended with a constructive outcome.
A couple of years ago, when I was in school, I decided to participate in extreme water activities, particularly scuba diving. I chose this activity because, at that time, I was suffering from aquaphobia, and my bosom buddy also encountered that problem.
Moreover, scuba diving seemed like the best way to confront and overcome our fears while also exploring the underwater world. During summer vacation, we went to Goa, a renowned destination for water sports.
There, we hired a proficient scuba diving trainer. Initially, I was delighted after listening to the motivational talks of the master. However, on the diving day, I felt blue because I thought it was a hard nut to crack for me. But when I tried this activity with God’s grace, I was over the moon because I did it in a good way, as did my friend.
After coming back I shared my entire experience with my family. Indeed, it was a red-letter day for me as I was successfully confronted and elevated my fear. If in future I get an opportunity to do this kind of activity then I will never miss the boat. All in all, that was the time when I took risks which had a positive result.
