Alarm

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

When something continually looms in the back of your mind like a taunting, that’s an alarm. It’s a signal that you need to evaluate and address that issue, or it may become a life-long fear.

Looming larger each day until it morphs into an obstacle you may never overcome. There is nothing wrong with being afraid or hesitant. We all have our reasons for remaining in the shallow end, but we must make our shallow end a training ground.

Too often, we treat our training terrain as a lazy boy. We lay back, get comfy, and then have tha audacity to wonder why our lives aren’t getting any better while we do the same shit we’ve always done.

I should have been using my time in the shallow end as mental preparation, imagining deep water with every stroke.
