Energy and persistence conquer all things. - Benjamin Franklin
You can tell, Benjamin!
I'm not completely sure what was the exact reason for my today's breakthrough in the water, but a couple of hours ago I caught my best waves ever so far!
It may sound weird, but having watched the best surfers in the world during my recent trip to Indonesia was a great inspiration to me.
That, combined with the fact that I felt incredibly comfortable in my new boardshorts, was apparently motivation enough to get me to the next level of surfing.
You just can't imagine how happy I am today!
Don't set your goals too high!
After having terribly failed trying to catch some huge Indo waves, I felt a bit disappointed regardings my surf lately.
It's what happens when we set our goals too high.
Life goals - defined in whatever field of interest - need to be challenging but still accomplishable. There are few things more depressing than unrealistic targets nobody will ever be able to hit.
So I realized that I had set the standard too high - and did one step back.
This was one of the wisest decisions I've made recently - and the reward was one of the happiest moments in my life.
There are few things more powerful than (literally) riding the crest of a wave.
Today I had a couple of these endorphin boosts that make you feel completely invincible.
Everything just magically felt into place.
The weather was tremendously nice and gave us a wonderful treat. There was almost no winds, mellow waves broke gently and often and the sun was shining intensly from the perfect blue sky.
Yes, I couldn't have scripted this day any better. But please get yourself a picture of the situation watching my today's video:
I hope you enjoyed it the way I did.
Remember: Life is way too short for bad vibes.
Much love,
