I would say the majority of surfers have a bias toward their short-term memory. It seems like every other wave is the best ride of the day, or a session with a couple of great sets is “the best day of surf for the year”.
But nobody likes surfing with someone who has a long-term memory. Those guys remind you how it was better three weeks ago or how the guy before you had a better ride. They hang onto those experiences, which inhibit them from enjoying the NOW to its fullest.
Try to love whatever you’re doing today as if it is the best it has ever happened. Just try.
Boston.com shares amazing photojournalism through the portion of their site called The Big Picture. Recently, they shared these astounding pictures as a part of National Geographic’s International Photo Contest 2009. I cannot even begin to fathom how some of these pictures came together. One of the coolest things is to read the captions under the photos to learn a little bit about the strategy (or sheer happenstance) behind the lens.
