Don’t you know the road? Yes, the road. The one that stretches out in front of you, the overgrown sides protecting, keeping you looking up and ahead and moving.
Just keep on looking forward, you can’t see beyond the curve, but just look through it, your goal is on the other side. If you keep your eyes focused on the road ahead you will not veer or fall over the side.
I feel odd today. Like I have been driving towards a goal, conscious at all times to remain grounded. Today I feel odd. Because this goal is finally taking shape.
My over-riding goal for this year was to get a superbike and get on to the track. I am half-way there. By the end of the year I will be on the track, even if I am going around it slowly. There are no other qualitative criteria. Those are for next year.
Today I bought my bike. It will arrive next week. And I’m scared sh!tless almost stiff! And so excited at the same time. I feel amazingly in control. I feel like an adult. I feel like I own this. This is mine.
That’s it for now.
