Windsurfing in Sardinia

The windsurfing was a success! And a very interesting experience, we were a group of friends that have never done it before….I was not going to do it, because I didn´t want to face failure or brake a bone, but they convinced me to do it or at least try.….So we started the lesson with our teacher Davide and after the theory, we were thrown into the sea…. We all started to try, we were able to stand up, then we fell, we tried again and then we failed again…. . Then I started noticing that when I was about to get control of the sail and the board a friend will pass next to me I will see how he was doing and I will fall into the sea….In another occasion I was about to stand up when I saw the people on the beach staring at me..And I fell again. I managed to stand up for 1 minute, when the teacher told me “bravo you are doing very well” at that moment I fell again, I stand up again, I was beginning to get control of the thing, when a friend passed by very fast in complete control of her board and sail., and looking at her, I got distracted and I fell..…. And I noticed that the same dynamic was happening to all my friends…. Up and down, falling and standing up etc… At that moment I realised that I was doing something wrong…I was not focusing… I was getting distracted by the people around me, I was paying attention to what they were thinking or saying or doing, I was not focusing and I was not concentrating in the here and now…then I realized that what I was doing was not just a sport, it was a life lesson… After 40 minutes trying and exhausted I understood the game….it was exactly like the game of life… I closed my eyes I took a deep breath concentrated in what I was about to do, I forgot about the rest of the people and what they were saying, thinking or doing I just focused on myself my mind & my body, the board & the sail….I started to gain balance I felt the strength of my mind controlling my body and vs. I became one with the elements, wind and water , I started sailing going up and down trough the waves, until I managed to be in the perfect place by not to allowing the waves to affect me, but to work in my favor…And there I was windsurfing perfectly at full speed …
Then I noticed that my friends were going through a similar process and we were all doing it well now, we all felt that we have been through a life lesson of how to get success in life in something that you want…
Dare to do it- Be present in the here and now- Concentrate in the objective -focus- don´t fight against the elements work with them and use them in your favour- don´t waist time looking at what others are doing- do the best that you can – give your 100% to it.
