My advice is to follow your heart and do it because you love it. Do something that you would do even if you didn’t get paid, and everything else falls into place from there. Even if it’s not a huge financial success, you will still be happy. These things that I’m doing, I would do [...]
I love this quote, and it speaks to me at this present moment … for right now, I am being tossed around in the “sudsy” goodness of a rather large sized wave as it pummels me into the washing machione cycle of the ocean. It’s all about constantly being in the now; knowing you don’t [...]
“There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” -Rumi
In our lives we will encounter many challenges, and tomorrow we face one together. How we accept the challenge and attack the challenge head on is only about us–no one can touch that. If we win or lose this weekend, it will not make a difference in our lives. But why we play and how [...]
One of the highest insights in the Buddhist traditions is to realize that the circle of life is, in fact, nirvana: that there is no need to escape because everything is originally pure and perfect. In a small way, surfing has begun to teach me this. - Jaimal Yogis from Shambhala Sun
Surfing is such an amazing concept. You’re taking on Nature with a little stick and saying, ‘I’m gonna ride you!’ And a lot of times Nature says, ‘No you’re not!’ and crashes you to the bottom. – Jolene Blalock

A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably. – Eleanor Roosevelt
We need to make a very clear distinction between what is in our ego’s self-interest and what is in our ultimate interest. – Sogyal Rinpoche
I ran across this quote from an unknown source while thumbing through some old magazines, and was rather intrigued by it: If you didn’t know how old you were, how old would you think you were?
