full stride

One reason I love sports is that feeling of perfection once I reach proficiency.

To get to that point in a sport where I can just pick up and go is exhilarating. The hours of efforts (often in frustration) disappear, and my mind is focused on that sense of well being.

Life is like a sport, and at this moment, I feel that I am in that place of bliss. Perfection is a state of mind. It is the spirit that I bring to every situation and every relationship.

I don't have all the answers, but I trust that my intuition will guide me. I haven't figured it all out yet, but that's not the focus of my life any more.

I cannot control the people or the situations in my life, but life should just be about being in the moment. When I am on the slopes, I don't question the weather or the people around me. I just try to make my way down the mountain and make it my very own experience.

Letting go of expectations is still a daily struggle, but I embrace that aspect of myself fully. I understand that I am not suppose to know, and that is the best feeling in the world. The acceptance of not knowing.

My lack of expectations has allowed me to excel in some sports, so why not let go in my everyday life too and see what happens?
