A soft caring light filled lady once asked me through an interpreter, "Ryan what is the longest task or action that you have engaged yourself in throughout your life?" As I quickly went through my lifestyle of actions, hobbies, jobs, commitments I concluded with:
Organized Sports
Baseball: 5-14= 9 years
Football: 13-18: 5 years
Soccer: 5-13: 8 years
Basketball: 7-14: 7 years
masturbation: its been TOO LONG (Iam Dutch we're like horses) to remember (just making sure people are reading this blog)
Traveling: 1983-present: 29 years 244 cities 32 countries all 7 continents
Yoga: 2004-present= 8 years
Maum Meditation Dec 2011-present= 1 year 5 months (with breaks in between Level 4)
Vegan: Oct 2011- present= 6-7 months (with unintended slip ups
Writing this blog: 118 days (and behind since TODAY is really the 125th day forgive me damn distracting ADD and time away from my computer.
I MENTIONED TO HER YOGA. Its a wonderful question to ask yourself. How committed are we to our passions, careers, our lifestyles? They say it takes 10,000 hours (approx 10 years took Bill Gates 9 years) to truly master your craft, some say it takes 5 years to really make it in Hollywood. I envy that lifelong commitment to excellence. Not to say I don't do excellent things, there are just some places I desire to be NOW, but I am not. I dwell on that too much, bring myself down, but can'tdo that too often since there is no hope in those thoughts. NO NO NO and NO some more. It has to be DO DO DO and DO some more right? A consistent love to achieve. That's it. I faithful Love to excel in all that you choose to accomplish- RVB
