Skating with a purpose

So I happened to go ice skating last Sunday and my friend was afraid to do something different like go faster because she was afraid to fall. Well first I'd like to say that I love to skate and the feeling while I skate is indescribable, and I was trying to get my friends to do something that they usually don't do, and one kept saying no, and I said, "If you don't push yourself or test the boarders then whats the point of life."
She said what, then I realized I said that way to loud, but then now i realize that if you're not afraid to fall then how do you know what it feels like to pick yourself up, and also on the way up you can see who is there to help you back up.

When you look at the little things in life, like skating, you can't always see the worst in it, you should see the outcome when you succeed at it. Even if you have fallen a couple of times, you now know what goes wrong and you can find ways to fix it even if it makes you fall again. Thomas Edison said, "I haven't failed, I have found 1000 ways to make something not work." Even if you find those thousand ways to fail it only takes one time to succeed and the hardest part is how do you keep that success without losing feelings and thoughts that got you to the place in the first place.

You might think you are amazing at baseball because you have the talent but as soon as you get stuck in the limelight and makes you lose your goal, then all  of that hard work has gone to waste. There will always be someone better than you, and if you don't think so, then you are wrong. What makes the greats the legends is that they always find ways to beat the best and when that is over they have to beat who they were yesterday to be legendary. Don't let the success get to your head, always have the sight of getting better than who you were yesterday.
