Ever find yourself looking some what like this guy up top? Chances are most of you have while awaiting your demise... Well not really your demise just something you think could end badly. Such as waiting in line to board this thing,
This is the chemical structure of adrenaline, and no I don't know what it means either. I just put it here to show you that adrenaline is an actually chemical the body can produce during stressful or scary moments. It attaches to your heart and muscles. This causes an increased heart rate and the feeling of almost super human strength. Then results in what you may know as an adrenaline rush. People seek out scary things to do just to get this adrenaline rush, which makes me think that adrenaline is almost like a drug. Let me tell you about my adrenaline rush.
My biggest adrenaline rush came to me when starring down at something like this zip line cord knowing i had to fly across it. I was in Jamaica and at this point was looking a little something like the guy at the beginning of this post. My body was filled with nervousness and I was anxious to get this over with. Eventually i had been strapped onto the line and sent zooming across.
You can't really see from this but the guy zipping across the jungle is actually smiling. This is how i looked when finally going across the massive line. The nerves left my body and were replaced with a "hell yea" to say the least. I got excited going across and I was met with adrenaline. When landing safely on the other side i could not keep still because I was experiencing an adrenaline rush.
This is another adrenaline producing activity I have done. Yes I'm talking about climbing a waterfall, but I'm exaggerating when putting a picture up of my man Bear Gryls climbing this crazy waterfall.
The way i climbed a waterfall looked more like this... But still I was climbing a waterfall which to some would be seen as a death trip of some sorts. Many people do crazy things for other reasons than pure adrenaline. Like just to do something out of the normal and to explore.
Back to Bear now. I may not have looked like this climbing up but i still was clinging to rocks for my life. The end goal is the same, he is trying to get somewhere he couldn't before and by doing so he is exploring and climbing up this crazy looking waterfall. I was also trying to go somewhere i hadn't before and for that reason i found myself trekking up a slippery rocky surface with gallons of water crashing around my legs and body.
What I really want you to get out of this post is that even though things can seem crazy or scary, or crazy scary. You should still adventure and try new things because your never know how it could turn out. If you start something out looking like our friend on the left here and you overcome that and reap the rewards from it you could be jumping for joy like the girl on the right. A complete transformation.
