HAPPINESS TIP:How to better windsurf life's ever changing waves!

A few summers ago I learned to windsurf. AND INTERESTINGLY... the first thing I learned when learning to windsurf was NOT how to windsurf! What my windsurfing instructor, Bob, first taught me was HOW TO FALL SAFELY. Bob showed me if I must land on my face, there's a safe way to land on my face. Ditto if I were to land on my side and toosh. Bob's goal: remove my fear of falling so when I finally was up on the windsurf, I'd feel safe to move my body freely. I'd be relaxed...able to have fun...and even feel comfy about trying risky, adventurous windsurfing maneuvers BECAUSE I'D KNOW that no matter what might happen to me I'D FALL DOWN SAFELY! Well, this same metaphor also applies big time to life here on land. We all need to become confident in our abilities to deal with any crisis and/or obstacle that might surprise us so we can happily live the most courageous, risk-taking, adventurous juicy life possible. For this reason, I believe gaining trust in oneself to “land safely” in any situation is one of the MOST IMPORTANT lessons we need to self-teach ourselves if we want to pursue our passions and goals with the vigor needed to snag 'em! Do you believe in your ability to "land safely" in a relationship, a job situation, a creative venture?
