2009 - Loosening up

At the time of my last post I was very stressed and felt unhappy with what I was doing and where I was. The stress was minorly caused by work load and pressure to get things completed but the major reason was because of myself.
I had lost sight of what I wanted to do; share the love and progress in my own way, respecting others' paths and intergrating thoughts and values into my own life.
I got too caught up in specific relationships and forgot that everyone is my friend and I have to nourish those friendships for them to grow and develop over time. This attitude recently came crashing down as I had two weeks enjoying myself training and seeing friends without the worry of work or trying to please anyone. My attitude for 2009 - taking everything as it comes, working hard but relaxing hard too, remembering that situations usually occur when I create them and, most importantly, sharing the love.
Although parkour makes me forget about everything else and refreshes me, I have realised that my progression and general enjoyment in parkour is largely correlated to my happiness as a person. Parkour inspires me and I need to share that inpiration with others and let other people inspire me to push myself in training.

As I said; share the love I feel and enjoy my life as I am extremely happy with it. Blane has inpired me to let what I learn about myself and the world through training shape me as a person and to share what I know with the whole wide world. Fear is of the devil, I will not let it consume me and I will continue to be afraid but challenge my fears to be able to eventually overcome them.

Man, don't you just love parkour?!
hehe much love peoples xxxxx
