Was at the beach one fine afternoon with my friends and saw people on a paddle board, they were having so much fun, and i who has never been on a paddle board before was curious to try it..
i am not a good swimmer so i have never had the guts to try it before. at first, i pictured myself falling off the board and drowning. so i shrugged off the idea of trying it out.
we sat down on the shore and talk but my eyes were still glued on the people who were on the paddle board laughing. my curiosity to try it gets bigger and bigger and i told myself "if they can do it, i can too"
so i stood up, get myself a paddle board and tried it in the shallow water first..
i fell down on my first and second attempt to stand but it didnt stop me from trying it again and again until i was finally able to balance.. i enjoyed it so much and i didnt realize that i was already paddling for more than an hour..



Oh! my confidence also grow and i even tried to do a headstand on the board..

I have seen pictures and videos of people on paddle boards before and have thought to myself that i will never ever be able to do it. but here i am, finally getting the confidence to do it and to conquer the fear of falling down and drowning.
So don't ever tell yourself that you cant do something, tell yourself instead that if others can do it, you can too.
