An article in Essentially Sports recently told of a 83 yr old surfer. The place was Bali in southeast Asia. Rough surf descended on the beach unexpectedly. The life guards where on their whistles blowing their brains out. The beach goers all heard it. A group of surfers from England and Germany chose to ignore the warnings. A big wave came on shore and dragged that group out to sea. The guards got them back to shore. The young ones survived but the 83 yr old surfer did not.
In life we get a heads up. Lookey here pay attention. The smart ones heed the call. In this case the whistle. The guards know their job. Warnings can come from anywhere out of the blue. Stay awake to them so as to have less stress in your life. This is a form of spirituality. We are all connected, it is our job to see that connectiveness. It is there always day and night.
A guy started surfing when he was 6 years old. He lived for surfing for decades. Living near the shore so he could indulge his passion. He got married and had kids and the surf board. One day he woke up to the realization that he was addicted to his hobby. Addiction is not healthy he thought, so he gave it up. Hard to do. But he then spent more time with the wife and kids. The guy probably saved his marriage and more adulation from his kids. That man is a very smart man. He awoke and selected for himself the bigger part of the cake. Eat hearty buddy.
