The Perfect Wave

The past two days we've had a blast at the beach. Even though the weather wasn't 'perfect', the waves were and we had so much fun boogie boarding for an hour or two!! What I learned was that it was all about waiting for that 'perfect' wave and then timing it right. My technique, well it is a work in progress, but I am proud to say that I did get a few rides ashore that were pretty awesome!!

So often I talk about letting go and just going for it and I still believe in the value of that. However, it was interesting today to have to wait, watching several waves go by, before choosing what I deemed to be the perfect one. It taught me a lot about being patient and a reminder that sometimes we have to just sit back and allow the right opportunity to come along, knowing that eventually it will. I guess life is somewhat of a balance between the two - sometimes having to wait for the perfect timing, while others letting go and just delving right in!!

And so today I DARE you to think about something that you've been wanting to do. Then, decide if it's something that you need to jump off the ledge and go for it or whether you need to sit back and wait for the timing to be right. I guess the reality is that there is no right way of doing something but rather it's all about trusting your gut for which way you need to go.

So go on, believe in yourself and trust your instincts for either way, waiting or jumping, you're right!!
