What we like

  • Some things in life happen by being in the right place at the right time despite the circumstances.  And other times it is more often the combination of hard work and determination

Mind Experience

  • What motivates you?  Something that ignites you?  If it doesn’t you will most likely just give up somewhere along the way, when the going gets a little tough.  If we set our minds to something outstanding we need to really challenge ourselves in so many ways.  It is one step to have a goal and to even work out a plan.  Where it takes courage and strength is to exercise those plans and work towards it.  As we start to see results, they may not always be the results you want it to be.  This is one of many tests to see if you are really serious.  You will most certainly face fears.  If fears overtake then it may certainly stop you in your tracks.  If you work with a mentor taking heed from experience then your prospects will certainly improve.  Ultimately it is up to you to work hard, stay determined, get up when you are dumped and face your maverick

To think about

  • Frosty Hesson:  This is about more than just surfing it’s about choices you make in life…
  • Frosty Hesson:  As for the rest, all I will say is… the ones who push the limits, discover the limits sometimes push back.

“This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
