Episode 4125: Elana Miller took up surfing as an adult and found the ocean taught her things no classroom ever had. In this first part she shares why the competition you are intimidated by mostly is not real, why six months of catching nothing was not wasted time at all, and why the patient surfer lets the first wave go by. It is personal development delivered by saltwater. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenpsychiatry.com/surfing/ Quotes to ponder: "There are not as many people at the top as you think." "Put in your time. The results will come." "Sure, you can push your limits, but make sure you know them in the first place."
