I’ve always thought that time slows down when you’re snowboarding. It’s a magical feeling… to experience everything and nothing, all at the same time, lost in the landscape. Your worries are forcefully forgotten. Your cares are pushed past. Your stress melts away. Life actually becomes simple for a short time. Answers become immediate and pressing. Do I… Turn right… Twist to the left… Duck under this tree… Try a jump… Celebrate the small wins… We spend a lot of time waiting for the perfect moment… When should I switch jobs? Should I get married? Have kids? Schedule that meeting on Tuesday or Thursday? And in reality… it’s difficult to know when the answers to those moments will come. More often than not, the moments just slowly become a part of you, intertwined in time. Just like snowboarding, Paths merge, Trails converge, And sometimes you’ll hit a couple of dead ends, fall a few times and need to dig yourself out. You can only live better by learning from failure.
