Surfing gives you a lot of self-control to face the challenges that day to day. That is why I have always considered that people who practice this type of discipline, usually take the challenges of life with much more optimism always looking over these.
Wanting to surf a wave is not something that should be taken so lightly, since you must consider many influential factors, the wind, the force with which this wave will strike if you fall, but also the inner peace and spiritual growth when you manage to assemble it, maintain yourself and get away with that great wall that you decided to face.
Life and our environment are that. Giant waves that we must face and although that wave swallows us, remember that we must always come out and try a million times if necessary, but never give up.
