Surfer Chicken Mini Print - Timed Release ⏳

I’ve watched surfers in Hawaii, San Diego, and yes, even in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, also known as “The Malibu of the Midwest.” The majority of a surfer’s time seems to be spent paddling, floating, and waiting. From what I hear, it’s all worth it, because the feeling you experience when you’re in the middle of a great wave, having timed it just right, is a moment of euphoria.

It doesn’t just happen. It requires a routine. You have to pull on your wetsuit. You have to lug your surfboard to the beach. You have to get out on the water. You have to put yourself in position for the perfect wave. You have to wait and wait...and wait.

We all want to experience the sexy highlights, like gliding effortlessly across a rushing wall of water. But committed dedication to the practice is how you get there. The surfer who goes out every day is most likely to catch the wave when it comes.

It’s easy to desire the moment of euphoria. It’s even easier to give up too quickly when that moment feels too hard or too long in coming. The in-between parts are long, hard, and boring. They are also normal. Don’t let them take you by surprise and trick you into quitting too soon.

You can’t predict or summon the ultimate wave on demand, just as you can’t predict or summon a great idea. But you can make yourself ready to make the most of it when it comes.
