Roller Derby Lessons: Jump Over Obstacles and Embrace Exhilaration
Sunday, December 6th, 2009
One night in roller derby practice, I had to jump over the back seat of a Chevy Corvair on roller skates. The prospect of it terrified me but the end result of taking a risk and having success was life-transforming.
In this 6 minute video taped at Agape Toastmasters, I talk about how jumping over that car seat, even though I was initially convinced I couldn't, was proof to me that my mind doesn't always tell the truth and maybe I shouldn't take it so seriously. When I hear the words "I can't" in my mind, I ignore it. If you want less fear and more joy, check it out.
