bending it
Sunday, May 28th, 2006my passion my life…i dunno wen it reali started,guess sports came from my mum…never knew i had it in me…dint even enjoy it at first…used to remember wen i was little i’d rather watch wrestling than a soccer game…now given a choice btw any movie to a live man u match…i’d go for the match…used to play all these crazy traditional games in my neighbourhood still dint realise it…wenever i wanted to run somewhere or jump somewer i jus did it and well most of the time its successfull…i’d rather not talk about those unsuccessful parts…
tink i had my first chance in pri 4 to run my 1st relay…we won of coz but that dint change anything…sports just wasnt a part of me then…even wen i started playing soccer and rugby…well it was for the sake of friends…but well injury after injury resting has taught me that this is wat i realli wanna do…not just sweating alone but doing something competitive..enjoy competing against myself trying to beat myself each time b4 i can even think of challenging others…and it turnd out alrite each time…
i dunno, i feel that watever problem i m going through or watever trial comes my way…it goes away for a wile because i can put my focus on something new…like going for a run or swim…just run forward and never look back…dun care where you are heading just run..even if you get lost you will eventually end up where you started…this feeling,trust me is better than taking drugs or being high..it gives you a kick plus its realli rewarding…as i run i learn new things…about things around me :the trees the birds and the sky…couple with what others are trying to tell me and wat God is telling me…wen i run i m at peace and the thoughts just come running in…somehow i find a better solution because now i listen to my heart rather than my head…
its a great feeling wen you sprint for it and get the ball,turn around and make a shot…injuries never hold me back from wat i love doing…they challenge me to do better…as i said i m my own opponent…
it takes abit of effort at first but wen you get started you never wanna look back…sports gives me wat i need…peace,satisfaction,ease and joy…
had a friend who told me once the most important key to achieving something in life is to have the big "L"…not loser but love…love your sport…it took me a long time to understand wat he meant but wen i did it gave me a new meaning…even if i break my arm and you ask me to go for a run with you i m all out for it…i still have my legs…if i break that also,i will still give it wat i’ve got…its better than sitting and doing nothing…as i said i love sports…
