How to Keep From "Wiping Out"

A.J., the son of a good friend from
California, is a surfer. Not just any
surfer, though, he is a self-proclaimed Zen
surfer. According to A.J., Zen surfing is
about becoming “one with the wave.”

A.J. told me that each wave has its own
energy, even its own consciousness. To
ride it, he believes, you must lose your
sense of self, forgetting who and what you
are in order to commingle your energy with
the waves. “The minute you look down,”
A.J. says, “and remember that you’re a
person balancing on a surfboard, you’re
toast.”

Wipeout!

Pretty good analogy for life, don’t you
think? Losing yourself in your actions, in
the present moment, and in seeing the
larger picture allows you to ride that
Hawaiian-sized whopper we call “your
life.” But as soon as your start trying to
be in control of the things you’re not, try
to figure it all out, and get bogged down
in the minutia of your day, you’re toast.

Wipeout!

That’s why I’ve created a Fun Commandment
to keep you surfing along today: Don’t Look
Down. I want you to quit using your head
so much; quit trying to know everything
before you feel safe and secure. There’s a
whole lot of life that you’re not meant to
figure out or control. And you can’t now
matter how hard you try. That’s exactly
how it’s supposed to be.

Besides, I know exactly why you keep
looking down all the time anyway. It’s
either because the results of your footwork
aren’t happing like you expected or you
don’t have faith in what’s holding you
aloft. Just like on a surfboard, you must
have faith that things will happen like
they’re supposed to and that you have
everything you need to get things done
today.

And you do have everything you need. You
were born with the most potent and powerful
natural medicine on the face of the earth:
your humor nature. And, by reading this
book, you are using your humor nature to
create a life of your choosing instead of
constantly reacting to circumstances. What’s
not to trust?

I know you don’t like it when things don’t
happen like you thought they would. Or
they don’t happen as fast as you’d like. You
have neat and tidy plans that are
constantly being rearranged by the force of
the big wave you’re riding.

Don’t look down. Use the energy of the
wave to propel you to the exact movements
you’re supposed to by making. If not you
become like the woman who plants seeds in
her garden only to dig them up the very
next day to check their progress. You
impede your growth when you get out of the
flow, over analyze, and look down.

In two weeks I'll tell you the story of
three of the most Zen guys you'll ever
meet. And we'll talk more about not
looking down.
