I get asked how one progresses with BMX and I get asked this question a ton.
It’s no different than any other aspect or skill in life.
We gotta learn to walk before we can run. In the world of BMX, we gotta learn to ride before we can stunt. Haha.
The messaging behind @justpruvit and I both encourage becoming better every single day. No matter what you do that day or don’t do, as long as you strive to be better, then that’s all that matters.
It’s easy to get caught up in all that we haven’t done yet, skills that aren’t “good enough”, where our business is or isn’t, and how much MORE and BETTER we could be doing.
The issues I commonly see and experience are the following.
1) getting caught up on the “destination” or the goal rather than falling in love with the process or journey.
2) comparing ourselves to others in general, but also with not knowing the whole story or all the context that went into that persons success that we’re comparing ourselves to.
3) not holding ourselves and our actions accountable to the reality we’re living in. Fixing our power away by making up excuses to why we can’t or aren’t succeeding with a desire in our life.
What BMX as taught me is to become relentless with persistence, habits, work, mindset built of belief, not caring what others think of myself, and to not give up when times get tough.
Are you trying to run before you dial in walking, with any aspect of a goal(s) you may have developed?
