No.0118:Big wave - Someday surely

September 31,2023


On instagram, I watched a video of a surfer taking on an incredibly large wave, perhaps 10 meters high, with a life-or-death risk.Perhaps he would be swallowed by a big, murderous splash and his body would be slammed to the bottom of the sea. As I watched these images, I wondered if I was in an environment where I could at least ride a big wave, even if I did not think I could ride a big wave now. I felt a little uneasy.
 
Now, here in this place, we will never be able to expect big waves, but we will be able to secure a minimum income. So I am not really excited about it, and I wonder why I am bowing down to such a person. I used to feel annoyed at myself for continuing to choose stability.
 
You are pathetic because you think you are bowing to a little boy. You bow to money.

Can you recognize a wave (opportunity) as an opportunity? Are you not going through the big wave? You must be ready for the changes that are happening now, or are about to happen, with greed like a dog sniffing for food. Otherwise, we will never get out of the status quo of bowing to the little boy.
 
The worst thing you could do is to stay for a long time in an environment that is not suited to you, where opportunities are unlikely to come your way, just for the sake of a bit of stability. Three years on a stone. With such beautiful words to support us, nothing will happen right away, but if we continue to sit tight and endure hardship, we should see a glimmer of light. Such expectations will continue to be betrayed, leaving only a sense of emptiness in their wake. Although this is only my own rule of thumb. However, hard work does not always lead to achievement, but many achievements are based on hard work, which is why they are so bad.
 
Therefore, I have to think carefully about your place. If I think it is not the right place for me, don't stay there for too long. I want to be in a place where I can feel the excitement of a big wave coming from offshore. I am desperately trying to catch the big wave that I've been waiting for, and I'm paddling with my arms buzzing, trying not to miss it. But I can't ride it very well. I look back on the reasons for my failure with frustration and correct myself for the next wave. In this way, I hope to successfully ride a big wave at least once in my lifetime.
