However, I understood you post, buddy, but I had a really hard time relating to it. Never resonated with me.It appears you have addressed this post to people with type A personalities.I am at the other end of the extreme: born with a type Z personality.I am so easygoing that perfect strangers come up to me and say things like, &quot;you ever gonna get off your lazy ass?&quot; and &quot;Ever heard of working for a living?&quot; Man, life sure ain&#039;t what it used to be when you have intrusive people trying to knock down your danged door and rain on your beautiful parade.Gosh, I am happy. I think I enjoy life too much and ain&#039;t worried about success.
By conventional standards, I am a loser and I am dang proud of it. I have so many hobbies and interests, man, one life just ain&#039;t enough for me. Every day is a new start, and I really don&#039;t know what you guys are talking about.I am having a jolly good time and grooving to the beat of rock and roll.
In my opinion, just chill and smoke that peace pipe and roll with the punches.
And if other people holler at you, roll over and play dead. And live large. If you can&#039;t get no job, ask your grandma for a free hand-out. She&#039;ll give it to ya coz she loves you like a brother. Heck, I am ready to turn into a welfare mom pretty soon if nothing else works out. Where&#039;s the gender bender OT room?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Srini,</p><p>Great post, as usual, what else is new?

I think that&#039;s cool that you&#039;re so passionate about it and can compare surfing to what you write about in your blog entries.At first, I wasn&#039;t sure what you meant by attached to success. But after you told your story it was clear. What I learned that is once we have success, we shouldn&#039;t have to wait for it again. It&#039;s only going to make us more frustrated like how you were waiting for that 2nd wave to come.Instead, we should live every moment in the present. You were thinking about that nice wave you had in the beginning, but that was the past. However, it was still in your mind. I get the same thing too. I get caught up to some of my successes in the past that it seems impossible to find enjoyment in the present. I don&#039;t want to on too much about this; but to sum it up, like you say, just have fun with it.

However, I would not get so bummed out about not replicating the ride again. What it shows you is that you have potential for greatness, you just need to work at it more to reach consistency. That is what you are saying whether you realize it or not.Believe me, I have caught the same wave (literally) and had the &quot;Endless Summer&quot; drop in down a perfect face, into the double overhead barrel, and come out alive on the other side with the wave spitting into my backside (you know what I mean). Only to try again and fall face first on the next try.Nothing wrong with that at all as long as you follow your cogent advice - which is well summarized at the end I might add :)
