I have been excited about the opportunity to actually swim in the Seas with Nemo and Friends aquarium at Epcot. If you have ever been to Epcot and visited the pavilion, it is HUGE tank which can actually fit Spaceship Earth inside of it.
I love aquariums and fish and when I heard about the Seas Aqua Tour, I was so excited to sign up. I can not wait to not only get a backstage tour but then get to jump in and swim away.
I have shared my interest in this activity with many of my friends who immediately say no, they wouldn’t do it. Why won’t they do it? Because there are sharks swimming with you in the huge tank. Of course they are over fed and there are not many of them but they are still too scared to go. What if they panic while in the water…
This of course got my self doubt going wondering what will I do. So far I am not scared and I am thrilled to do it. They put tons of people in there all the time so I doubt there is a risk but what if? What if there is no risk but I do panic and freak out!!
I spend my life wondering about all the what ifs and never take the plunge which leads to me missing out on the opportunity. There are tons of what ifs, some saying no and some saying what if you don’t do it. So I have to make a choice, is it worth it to me?
No one will know what will happen until I jump in. Taking action is the only think I need to do. So I am moving forward with my plan and I am jumping in. I do not want to look back and wish I had and hate that I didn’t because I allowed others create doubt in my mind.
Anyone care to join me for a swim?

This is a very strong metaphor for me too! There is always a “What if…?” in life. Life is too short to let those worries hold us back from the things we work so hard to experience and desire to have a chance to do. Gives me some things to think about for sure!
