The Exciting Things In Life Hides Behind Our Biggest Fears

My first flight ever

If you wonder why there is a picture of the plane in the air, I will now tell you. In 2018. I traveled for the first time by plane. But it wasn’t just my first, but also the longest flight because I flew from Croatia to South Korea (8643 km, 14 hours), so you can only imagine how many emotions I felt. But also, when I enter a plane, I was not afraid. I was too excited to feel fear (despite my fear of height and flying).

I enjoyed it so much on that flight, and most of the time, I looked through the window and admired the beauty of the sky, clouds, and sunset. This picture can’t describe even 1% of what I felt when I was so high, just watching the sky and clouds, feeling more invincible and alive than ever.

If you are afraid of flying, remember, if you don’t stare face to face at your fear, you will never find a beauty hiding behind fear.

How many of you are afraid of flying or maybe something else? Are you ready to confront it? No matter what others say, every person has at least one thing that scares them the most. If they say otherwise, they are lying, trust me.

So next time when you had a choice to confront your fear, ask yourself, are you willing to give up, because, maybe behind it is hiding something so beautiful and incredible that will change your life forever.

I know that this trip changed me a lot, and I know that if someone offers me million dollars to erase those 20 days from my memory, I will decline even if I stay poor for the rest of my life. If you never went to South Korea, you MUST go. People, food, culture, and Korea are beautiful, and when I was there, I felt like I was at home.
