DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, KEEP SLEEPING.

Everyone has a dream or an idea of what they want their lives to be but so many people don’t take action towards it.  That’s because it’s not the dream itself that motivates us to reach for it, it’s believing that it’s within our reach.  Our brain fights this notion; telling us it’s unrealistic, illogical and even foolish but don’t listen.  Keep sleeping.

OUR TRUE ENEMIES

To be inspired feels incredible because you’re connected with your true self.  The word itself means “in spirit”.  In this peak state we operate through our inner powers.  Our weaknesses, fears and doubts are overpowered by psychological strength.  Most importantly, we’re blind to our true enemies - limitations.  That’s why I say LiveUnbound exists to inspire those who are striving to discover what they are truly capable of.

WHAT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT

First of all, everything you can’t control! But more importantly don’t worry about failure because then you won’t try anything. And if you worry too much while you’re trying something then chances are you will fail. For example when you’re doing a trick if you think about falling then you will fall. It’s that simple. Worrying is like praying for something you don’t want.

The problem of unemployment and underemployment (unfulfilling work) is here to stay unless we take matters into our own hands. Luckily, the best opportunities today are centered around creating your own assets. “Real jobs” are no longer the safe route because you have to rely on someone else in an unpredictable economy. You can’t exchange 40 hours (of unfulfilling work) a week for a secure life anymore so ask yourself - what do you really want to do?

Is there anything you do regularly that makes you forget what time it is? When you’re completely lost in the ride, the destination becomes irrelevant. The beauty of each moment is no longer distracted by the dream of a brighter future.

I recently took a day trip to WaveHouse San Diego to shoot the Flowboarding Championships. They were doing some pretty amazing tricks, check it out (and share if you like).
