Remember your Fear

Remember the feelings

I've been trying to learn funny things this year like snowboarding(Mar), Surfing(May&Oct), Skateboarding(Nov), the process is extremely challenging and interesting, but looking back on I also notice some things, is to remember the feelings.

To learn something always looks scary beforehand. You will picture yourself falling 20mph into a downward snow slope on your back, or being totally swallowed and knocked out by a 3 meters wave, or just thinking about the picture that you will slip off from that skateboard and break your arm. These pictures will always stay in your head unless you get your hands on it. And even for the foremost times, it will still look scary, you will only get used to it after being with it for a period of time.

But then you get to get used to it, get used to the speed which you can handle easily, get used to the body position on that board and the movements, and all that falling won't even seem that scary anymore and then you know that you had it and lost it at the same time.

You lost your fear of it, which used to be so BIG, so dreadful in your head. You almost start to miss the feeling.

Remember the fear and cherish the guy who refuse to be defeated by that.
