Perfection
I recently read a blog, “Zen Habits,” that was conveying the concept that we are perfect as we are. This notion is always a strange one for me to digest because everything I do is with the intention of improving some part of my life (skiing), whether it is mental or physical. Survival in our sport is all about perfection, striving for bigger and better tricks. So how do we implement these thoughts into that life? Last season I found a balance between thinking “I’m perfect as I am” and thinking “I need to be better.” I suppose my mantra [...]
Competition
I just got back from Aspen for the 6th annual “Meeting.” The weekend was full of ski and snowboard movie premiers, sunshine, biking, and some discussion panels- my favorite part. The topics this year were quite though provoking: Social Marketing, Olympic Dream, and Content Distribution.

Hello world!
Life is a gift. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t let yourself forget. And remind others that this is the case. We were all given an opportunity on this earth to see what we can do with it. How much can we love? How much can we suffer and endure? How much can we give back? This could be a one shot deal, so why not make the most of it. Remember, in the words of T.S.Eliot “only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” All for now. Sweet dreams.
