The Inn at Rodanthe...
...Ocracoke Ferry
...Hatteras Marina...
...Hatteras Marina...
...fishing pier(notice the twisting from previous stroms)...
...entrance, over the Dunes, from the house to the beach.
Ok...hav'n fun on vaca...probably too much think'n, but what else is one to do transversing the island. Yeah, I couldn't stay off the bike...its just too beautiful here so I banged out a century Timetrial type ride/5 mile beach run brick yesterday(pool got boring) which allowed me to take in all OBX has to offer(pics above). Notice the house with the blue awnings...don't recognize...its Serendipity. The Inn made famous by the Nicholas Sparks inspired movie, Nights in Rodanthe strarring Richard Gere and Diane Lane.
There in lies my inspiration...the theme; "Lives Change, Paths Change and Its Never too Late for a Second Chance." From this you get my interpretation, applicable to training/ feel free to carry it over to Life, as well. If you do what you did, you'll get what you got and in the case of Serendipity if it continued to stand where it stood it's faith would have got what so many previous houses that lied here on the coast got...Destruction(failure)...the same usually holds true in training.
Therefore, if one does not reach out to someone they trust i.e., coach to guide them or allow them to truely see what they are doing ultimate stagnation or even failure will ensue if "the pounding of the tides" keep crashing upon. So, what is one to do...
...take time to step back, assess(find out who you truly are/have become), constructively criticize, devise a plan of action and with much discomfort(as it is change and it does not feel good), M-O-V-E yourself to "higher ground" and ultimately success.
Remember, this takes maturity, patience, tremendous self assessment and a lot of hard work, but it will be all worth it. Good luck!
Serendipitously,
Chris
