Travis Pastrana pulled another double back flip today at the x-games. It’s incredible the limits that FMX has progressed too. In order to compete on this level, you must burn the bridges of everything that might hold yourself back and give it your all. “When a man really DESIRES a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future in a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.” (Napoleon Hill). We can all learn from this passion to be the best and apply to what we desire in life.

Manipulation is a powerful tool that people use to drive someone else’s belief into another direction. It’s interesting how people feel the urge to tell one another the right way, or the way that they should live their life. I believe a healthy person will naturally know what is right for themselves in order to survive and feel good about themselves, yet everyone is told that they should think and act a certain way in the presence of certain people.

What is it that we can do, in order to do what is right, with out being manipulated by other people? Follow your heart? I want to say yes, but I think it is also possible to have too much heart and it can control you into a direction of discomfort and anxiety. Maybe a balance of mind and heart…maybe this is the true way of having the freedom of the need to be free. There’s only one way to find out.

This inspirational thought is something that most people already know, however not many can conquer. The Life of Balance; Balance between work and play, the balance between love and hate, the balance of stress and fun. Both opposites, one may be good and the other one bad, however both are apart of this universe and here to stay. Might as well except the truths of life and move one doing the right thing. Which is listening to our hearts and balancing enough time to do what we want to do, and do what need to do.

sea lions

I went out to sea today…. to find some peace of mind and appreciate the calm winds. Once i exited the harbor, I charged out to sea with the Boston Whaler and headed north towards 56th street. It looks like the waves are back! 3-4 foot south swell. On my way back to the harbor entrance, i went to check out the sea lions on the buoy outside of the harbor.  About to finally go into the harbor, i felt like pinning the throttle for one last time and head south towards Crystal Cove.  I noticed these yellow flowers floating at sea. I thought to myself that someone might have passed away on this day, sometime ago and someone went out to drop off these flowers to visit their loved one and also find some peace of mind.

The ocean is a beautiful place that can take life away at an instant as well as provide life for all, including people and the sea lions alike. As i drove off, away from the flowers, i noticed the ocean surrounding the boat, suddenly start to become uneven and disturbed, as if i was invading it’s the space of the person who passed away, resulting in white caps forming as if there was a shallow reef. It was too far out to be a reef and the wind was calm. Maybe i was disturbing some type of force or maybe it was just a natural occurrence of events, either way, I found my peace of mind today.
