Watching My Son Jump Off a Cliff Was Way Harder Than I Had Imagined!
When Jesse turned 18, he did his first big wall BASE jump in the Italian Dolomites. Under canopy by 10 seconds or it's toast. That's the margin between life and death.
As his dad, every instinct screamed at me to stop him. To protect him. To say absolutely not.
My job as a father is to keep him safe. To use my experience to guide him away from unnecessary risk.
But Jesse is his own man. Kind, humble, hard working, original. And I can't stop him jumping off stuff. As we say in our family: "Pull high, don't die."
Watching your child do something that dangerous is harder than any mountain I've ever climbed. You can't control it. You can't be there. You just have to trust that you've given them the tools and the values to make good decisions on their own.
Sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go. Trusting that they're ready to fly on their own. Even when every instinct is screaming to hold on.
What's one moment you've had to let go as a parent or a leader?
The ultimate life hack is the ability to quickly reset and recover. From a bad interaction. From a bad day. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. You can start over whenever you want. You can't always control what happened, but you can control how long you carry it.
If you're traveling this weekend:
Don't speed. Keep a safe following distance. Don't drink alcohol. Take breaks every 2hrs. Don't drive tired. Check your car tyres, oil, etc. Ensure you have enough fuel. Avoid traveling in the dark or in the rain if you can. Please try to not be a statistic. Love you ❤️
