Yesterday he thought he was Evil Knievel.
Trying some “trick” on his bike, my son did a full flip over the handlebars and landed flat out face down on the ground.
The bike came crashing down on top of him.
Luckily, he avoided injury.
It was quite a teachable moment.
Lessons learned.
Experience gained.
Wisdom unlocked.
But, today, he got back on his bike.
He didn’t let the fear of that moment overwhelm the love he has for riding his bike.
The stories we make up in our heads determine our level of fear.
Change the narrative and we become stronger and install a more positive perspective on the world.
