Hey Love,
I know you’re excited about the bungee jump—your heart pounding in anticipation, your soul ready to soar, you’ve been talking about it for weeks. And I’m genuinely so proud of you. This isn’t a small thing. It’s bold, it’s brave, and it says a lot about where you are in your journey. But before you step into that moment, I want you to pause and remember something deeply personal. A quiet little force that led you here: that book. The one that carved open your chest and placed a seed of courage in your heart, 3…2…1.. Jump by Niharika Nigam.
Remember how you spoke about it? How the words resonate with you long after the last page was turned? The way it made you sit with your fears instead of running from them. How it made you feel seen, like it had unlocked a truth you had always known but never had the words for. The one that changed the way you looked at fear and helped you understand that real courage doesn’t always look loud and dramatic—it’s quiet, internal, and deeply personal. It made you look inward. And that’s where all of this started. That book wasn’t just a good read—it planted a seed. It challenged the way you saw courage, and that’s what led you to take this step today. It wasn’t just about motivation; it gave you clarity. It helped you connect the dots between what you were holding back from and what you needed to face.
That one line… the one you held onto:
“You think courage is about fighting what is standing opposite you, when courage is in fact, what you have to fight inside of you, always.”
That hit you hard like a quiet storm because it’s true. Because you knew—the real battle was never outside, never about the external challenge—they’re about our own fears, doubts, and stories we tell ourselves. It’s not the jump, the height, or the fall that’s scary. It was the voice inside you whispering doubts, spinning stories of what-ifs, making fear feel bigger than it really is. It’s the thoughts leading up to it. But you’ve done the work. You’ve sat with that voice. You’ve listened, challenged, and here you are—choosing to move forward. That’s strength.
You’ve carried that line with you since then. And you’ve applied it—in small ways at first, then in bigger ways, like this jump. Because this isn’t just about adrenaline or ticking off a bucket list item. This is you showing up for yourself. It’s you recognizing that your fear doesn’t get the final say. That’s what this jump really is about. It’s not just about thrill or adventure—it’s about proving something to yourself. That you can move forward even when your body is nervous and your mind is full of questions.

And if you need one more reminder of your courage, think about Arjuna in the Mahabharata. He stood on the battlefield, overwhelmed by fear and self-doubt—not because of the war, but because of the inner conflict. He didn’t know if he could do what was being asked of him. But with Krishna’s guidance, he found clarity. The message? Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the battle—it’s believing in your ability to rise to the moment.
This jump is your Kurukshetra. It may only last a few seconds, but it symbolizes something bigger. You’re choosing to face fear, not run from it. You’re choosing trust—trust in your body, in your journey, and in everything you’ve worked through to get here.
And don’t forget the other thing you said—how the book taught you to listen to your emotions.
That our feelings aren’t weaknesses, they’re signposts. They guide us. They tell us when we’re standing on the edge of something transformative. Right now, that edge is literal. But what you’re really leaping into is growth, trust, surrender. That anxiety you feel before the jump? It’s not a sign to stop—it’s your body recognizing the edge of a comfort zone. You’ve been here before, in different forms. And every time, you’ve found a way forward.
This is just one more step. A big one, yes—but one that you’re ready for. You’ve done the work. You’ve had the hard conversations with yourself. You’ve learned to quiet the noise and trust your instincts. You’ve done a lot of internal work to get here. You’ve processed your anxiety. You’ve challenged your limiting beliefs. And now you’re taking action. That matters more than the jump itself. So when you’re standing there, on the edge, take a second. Breathe. Acknowledge everything it took to get to this point—emotionally and mentally. Then trust yourself. Let go of the noise and take the step. You don’t need to be fearless to jump—you just need to trust that you can handle whatever comes next.
Feel the wind; feel your pulse. Let go—not just physically, but emotionally. Let go of the fear that doesn’t serve you anymore. Let go of needing to have it all figured out. Let go of who you were and jump into who you are becoming.
This isn’t just a jump. It’s a declaration.
That you are ready.
That you trust yourself.
That you are free.
And I am so, so proud of you.
Don’t let the fear stop you. You’re not doing this to prove anything to anyone else. You’re doing it to remind yourself that you can.
And you absolutely can.
I’ll be cheering for you every second —now and always.
With all my love,
Your Sunshine
