theq,

You know, I thought 5.0 and brought it all to the beach (not a short distance). After sticking the mast in the sail and getting ready for the extension, I realized that I was following the wrong path. I abruptly abandoned the original plan and changed the direction in favor of a 4.2, and then further committed myself to a 65 liter board.

Although this was quite a hassle, the choices were ultimately perfect, at least this time around. When things are good, happiness is king and so attainable.

Still though, I could have continued on the original path with the 5.0 and the bigger board and paid the price. Sometimes we win, and other times we lose. Ah, the dilemmas of choice and circumstance.

While I don't believe that anyone here will claim that attitude means nothing, it may come down similarly to our subjective ideas of what constitutes an "epic" session. Attitude can start at a young age when one is comfortable enough with their secure surroundings to explore possibilities and see that they are indeed attainable. Others who are born into bad familial and living situations have a much harder time "developing" an attitude, as they see the negatives in life as something akin to sbard's inevitables that one shouldn't fight. To some extent, succumbing to such inevitables, as being foregone conclusions, is the same action, but a different natural reaction. There are no definites in this life, at least that I've found. But having a good attitude can help convince, perhaps delude, yourself through dismal situations that would logically dictate either surrender or a futile fight. Mind you, these are only observed conditions . Maybe a good attitude can be thought of as a mental form of apparent wind Not wind, per se, but something self-created that acts as wind, and can plane us through rough patches? Only a sailor would understand that one. By the way, all you big-toothed preachers, secular and non-secular, leave that simile alone! It's not for your unauthorized use.

That said, one has to wonder if ignorance is really bliss. And if it is, should we show a smiling ignoramus a greater amount of respect? While I may live through flashes of jealousy, while observing such bliss, I enjoy my curiosity, and life on the banks of the mainstream, that exposes me to things that may not be pleasant or positively self-propelling. This can, at least temporarily, result in what some may perceive as a bad attitude. I, like most of us, am a work in progess. I do not believe that attitude, is everything, nor do I believe it is nothing. It's just another manifestation of what we experience along the way, coupled with lessons learned from those we see as credible teachers. We learn as we go along. At least we should try, eh?
