I watched an episode of Oprah this week. Oprah took her friend andeditor-at-large, Gayle, and 60 other women to a spa. At first Ithought that this would be some light entertainment; after all, howexciting could a visit to the spa be?

This, however, was not your usual spa. Located in Tucson Arizona,Beside the regular pampering activities, this spa provided somephysical obstacle courses that were aimed at helping the womenovercome some of their fears. Gayle who was afraid of heights wasput into a harness and with two wires was pulled up 40 feet intothe air. Her job when she was ready, was to release one of thewires and to swing on the remaining guy wire 40 feet up, back and forth, until the swinging subsided enough for them to put a ladder underneath her to help her down. Gayle was afraid. She screamed and shook while she looked down at the women below her. This 'release' of the wire was metaphorical for releasing what washolding her back in life. Finally she did release the wire,holding on tightly to the guy wire and screaming the whole time. Earlier Oprah took a turn at the wires. As soon as she releasedthe wire, Oprah was able to enjoy the ride, extended her arms andlegs letting go of the guy wire. She allowed herself the freedomto totally experience the wire.

If you were on a ride, would you experience it to its fullest orwould you resist it every step of the way?

What is the wire that is holding you back?

Take a chance today and let go of the wire that is holding you back and 'go' for it!
