Today morning I was talking to a friend and sharing my experience with her of my Everest Base Camp trek. When I was talking about it and reflecting on those days I realize how liberated I was feeling. She is interested in doing the trek but hesitant as she is almost 60 now and she feels that physically she may not be capable of doing it. Personally, knowing her I feel she has the capability of doing it, she is just undervaluing herself. She can take the preparation time of 4 to 5 months and then do it.
When you do these kind of adventures in life you feel so much of freedom. I think it is important for everyone to experience this freedom at least once in a lifetime. This freedom is not about being alone and free but it is about freeing up your mind from all those things which we feel are part of us or that we think we cannot live without. Coming our of your comfort zone and living in extreme situations may not feel very pleasant in that particular moment but when you are done through that experience and when you reflect back on it you will realize what you have achieved in life.
When I reached the base camp, I was crying, I was so emotional, all the pain vanished in the air as if it never was there. Standing in front of something so huge and powerful was making me ecstatic. The feelings of that particular moment probably I will never experience in life again unless I do something larger to it, which I doubt. It was so magical, I wanted to be in it forever. In that moment I knew I had conquered a lot of my fears, I had overcome so many challenges and accomplished what I had dreamed of. I was feeling so liberated. All of a sudden life held a very different meaning up there, It was like getting transported into another dimension.
When you want to feel something like this, you have to do something extraordinary, because to feel extraordinary normal circumstances will not be enough.
