Another Take on The Future

"Fear is most often experienced when I am inactive and thinking about the future."

- Steve Chandler

When I am fully engaged, putting my heart and soul into something, fear is replaced by the RUSH of pure excitement.
A recent WIRED magazine article sent to me by TV producer John Jones said this: "Surfer Garrett McNamara felt many things as the monster wave approached. Excitement. Awe. Joy. The one thing he did not feel, however, is fear."

That might seem unusual, given that he was about to ride what is believed to have been a 100-foot wave on Monday. But there was no place in his heart, or mind, for such things. He was focused utterly on the moment.
"If you have fear then it means that you are not living in the moment", McNamara told Wired by e-mail from Nazaré, Portugal. "You are either stuck in the past or worrying about the future. It is important to not think and just do! Follow your heart and fear does not exist."

McNamara is believed to have set a new record for the biggest wave ever ridden by a surfer.
