Surfers who ride great waves must first attempt riding small waves at least 300 times before getting a feel for them and attempting to ride the big waves.
I have found these conditions for surfing the waves of life:
1. Look far beyond the wave
2. Predict the wind and the wave
3. Hold on to your balance until the very end
4. Choose your wave with courage
If you are ready...
...catch a wave and from atop the ocean you will experience unimaginable bliss.
However, surfing at times is an attempt where you risk your life. Why do you brave such dangers in order to ride waves?
"Whenever the wave comes, my body becomes tense and I wonder whether I should wait for the next one but the experience beyond the wave moves my body."
- Peter Cole (Big Wave Surfer)
Those without courage will stay on calm waters or watch from afar.
But if the ocean is life... and a wave is an obstacle on the path to your hopes and dreams... will you run or ignore the wave because you are afraid? Or will you choose a bigger wave and ride it with joy? What will you choose when a wave comes?
