Yeah, so the Maccabi Eye is in July. Oh, okay, so it's coming. I still have two more months to be nervous about it, you know?
There is anxiety, especially, you know, I'm a brand new surfer. Two years is a brand new surfer.
Yes. Yes. And I know I'll be competing with Gareth's surf 10 years, 20 years plus. And it's all of a sudden putting myself in a place where I'm not the best. when talking about experience, which is really, really difficult to put myself out there. It's really- But you're still doing it, which is really cool. I'm still doing it and I'm still working on my mind for doing that.
And it's not easy, but I think it's really going to be outside of my comfort zone when I'm used to excel and be good at what I do. And all of a sudden I'm not. It's new. I'm still falling every session. I'm still doing stupid stuff on the board and with the waves. And I'm still learning every time.
But I think because I learned that when I put myself outside of my comfort zone, this is where I grow. And it's very, very uncomfortable. Very, very uncomfortable, I can tell you. But I'm doing it.
I think what I learned is just start, whatever that is. If you're not 100% sure this is what you want to do, but you have a dream, but you don't have all the resources right now, just start. Start your journey. Some things will work out, some won't, but you'll learn a lot on the way. And when you're starting something and trying, just like experiencing something,
You're shaping your road and pivoting and like eventually you'll find the right way. And I see your posts all the time. I see you climbing some like huge mountain and all kind of different spots in the world. And I think every time is a different path. You discover new things when you climb, you learn, you fall, you fail, but you continue.
So I think this is the first thing that is very important that people that will take from today. And the second thing that I always talk about that is don't listen to what other people have to say. You can come to like someone you think that is your friend and share with them your idea and they will oh, there's no way you're going to do that.
Not because they're bad friends, but just because they didn't experience themselves or they truly don't believe. And they're guarding you. Like they're really guarding you.
It's from the right reasons, but they have no idea what you're capable of and you're the only one who knows it. So if there is something you believe in it or you're passionate about, go and do it and try it. And okay, if you fail,
You can't be loved by anyone. And if you're doing an extraordinary thing, there will be people that want to see that. And I think a good example I have from actually from the surfing world is that I went surfing. It was maybe like two weeks ago. And I'm going out with a friend and, you know, it's Hawaii. Everyone is talking to each other, especially if you see you're holding a surfboard.
And as we were going to the spot, there were three people, different people with a surfboard going out back to their car. And, you know, we're doing this small talk. We're like, how was it? How's the waves? So first person said, it was fun, fun waves. The second person said, okay. Oh, not a good day. So much wind. I couldn't catch any wave.
And the third person, you know, said something like, it's fine. And we got there and we had the most amazing day. So... It also depends on the experience of the person and, you know, the board, which can be the resource of the person.
It's a lot of ingredients and the background and the experience that engraved into one thing that eventually you will decide if you're having fun or not having fun or if the waves are good and not good.
I think it's all eventually in the state of mind. Sometimes we can convince ourselves to think other ways. Sometimes we can't. And it's just part of it.
Well, this is very cliche, Alana, but we live once, right? If you have a dream, I believe you should go and try for it. And with determination and the right mindset and perseverance and integrity and all of these qualities, you'll be able to achieve whatever you want. you want and whatever you set your mind to. It might not be the thing that you started that you wanted at the beginning.
It might change on the way, but it's an amazing feeling when you get to the point where you saw yourself and you vision yourself over there. It's an amazing feeling, but I think the important thing is also enjoy the journey on the way. And I had to learn it the hard way because all of us were always in a race. We want to achieve that and that and that and that and that.
But I think also enjoying every step of the way and taking the most out of it is important. It's hard to do, but very important.
Yeah, just get yourself outside of comfort zone. This is where you grow. This is where you learn. It's not easy to be there.
Yeah, but hopefully I'll be able to surf at 97.
