It was on April 3, 2015 that I tried for my first time ever to surf the waves of Bagasbas Beach. It was my first time to do it and I was so excited. I signed up for a surfing lesson with my brother for one hour and hell, it was so much fun. I did fell down so many times and much more than I had really surfed the waves. My nose was hurting so much because of saltwater getting in, but it didn't stop me. I kept doing it because it was so much fun.
One thing I learned about surfing that I can relate to life.
At first, I was surfing and my instructor tells me not to go with the waves, but ride on the waves and learn to balance my board and give it direction. I was always going along with the waves and not taking control of the board and those are the main reasons why I always fall into the water.
I can relate it to life. My life is just like the surf board. The waves are the situations that hampers you. My body is me, of course. While I was surfing, I was telling myself, "I need to learn to trust my board, the waves and my body, because they are there to give me joy and enjoy surfing." I keep telling that to myself. While my instructor keeps reminding me to control the board and not let the waves control the board.
I felt that I had also been doing that with my life. I had let situations control me and make me fall down so many times. I haven't learned to control my surfboard. When I did learn to control it, the experience is so thrilling and so awesome!
I am thinking that I had to learn to trust that the situations whether bad nor good are like waves in my life and that I have to trust them, learn to ride with it in order to have the Best Life EVER!
As of the moment, I am looking forward to more surfing days in my life. I did really enjoy it. It was so much fun.
