RE: Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming
I grew up in Australia where getting chased by great white sharks is an everyday occurrence...I learned to swim really quickly as a young kid for that reason, I mean fast, and have the tenacity to keep going no matter what, even if things get in the way, or seaweed touches my leg...
Ok, so I never got chased by a great white shark...But seaweed did touch my leg and it freaked me the fuck out! But...I kept swimming...You know why? Because I was out to fucking sea and had to get to the shore and the banana Paddle Pop ice cream mum (mom) promised me...
Applying perseverance can be hard...And quitting can be easy...The key to doing one over the other is the reason you're doing the thing in the first place. The WHY. If it is compelling enough then a person will do what is required.
Get after it bro.
Hahaha... you always make us laugh!! I believed the Great White tale there, just for a moment... guess that says something about what I think about you badass Australians! Although, a banana Paddle Pop ice cream sounds pretty enticing. I have never heard of such a thing, so the allure, for me, is more in the curiosity.
I am much less curious about sharks. I'm even less curious about being chased by one. Though, stagnation is just as bad as dying, I think, so I'm gonna paddle like a motherfucker, no matter where I'm at...
:) Thanks for the comment.
Banana Paddle Pops are great. Banana icecream on a stick...What's not to like?
Yeah, you don't want to get chased by a shark...Only ends one way usually.
