the art of stretchinggg yourself

One thing I’ve learnt from sports – tennis, running, even working out as a whole, is if you stretch yourself you just might get it.

In tennis, sometimes, the ball is so far from you. You have a choice to say – I can’t  get it, or try and you might find you were able to push the ball to the other side of the net.

Same with running. When you think of the entire race, and if you focus on it, you can swear you wouldn’t be able to do it. But if you just take one step, and then another, you just might 

I don’t know if tennis and running are metaphors for life, and I’m not in the business of motivational speaking, but a lot of defeat is mental. I know that because I’m usually a victim of that mental defeat. And days when my mind is indefatigable, it shows up in my performance.

Also random, I started listening to jazz music on Thursday. Like I just felt like I wanted calmer no lyric music so did that for 48 hours. Saturday, I’m listening to made Kuti play live. What are the odds.
