Life isn’t easy. Some days life will come at you with all its force and fury. You’ll feel powerless in that situation. But you’re not powerless, you are capable of responding in whatever way you choose. That’s the power of the human mind, that’s the power at your disposal today. Whatever comes your way try to take a positive view. Let that be your superpower for today. Take care out there, and go well. Troy.
Cracking day to be alive today. Get up, get out, get moving. Life is too short to be stationary. Leave your best life. Get out there and get exploring. .

We must do difficult things. Today I did my first Ocean Surf Ski race - 20km. It was tough. I’ve been battling a bug for the last three weeks with fatigue, low training and spent the last few days contemplating abandoning the race. But it’s not about winning, it’s about challenging yourself, pushing to your limit so you know where it is. While I was out there, offshore I could see a coast guard boat in the distance and in my head it made sense to paddle up to them and quit. That was the sensible thing to do, the easy thing. But life’s not easy, it’s bloody tough, it doesn’t care, so we fight on, dig deep, we endure. Why? Because this is what our ancestors have done for millions of years. For me, this was not life and death, it was optional. We must challenge ourselves, wake up our evolutionary potential. Go on, get out there. I’ve got your back.
That’s it state Ocean championships done and dusted. Surf paddling out there offshore no one around is just awesome. Most of the race I could just see people off in the distance and nothing but beautiful ocean. Bloody tough. But that’s why you do it.
Almost at the starting gate for the Paddle Queensland Ocean championships. Apparently the current world champion will be lining up on the starting line with me. Help!
Race day! Qld Ocean Racing Championships. My first ocean race ever. 20km offshore paddle in the surf ski from Caloundra to Mooloolaba. Shocking lead-in to this race. Illness and serious lethargy have destroyed my last 2.5weeks and I was considering abandoning up until 3am. I am ready now though. Bring it on!
Tomorrow morning I undertake my first ocean surf ski race. It happens to be the Queensland championships. Four months ago I hadn’t paddle the surf ski and hadn’t done any paddling for George nearly 30 years prior to that. You can teach an old dog new tricks. And I am looking forward to it.
What are you doing today to satisfy your evolutionary physiology. We have spent the last 200,000 years moving throughout our day and resting primarily when we were tired for moving or sleeping at night. Push yourself. Your biology need you to move. Have an awesome day out there. .

Spend time with good people. Start your day with positive social action. Life will come at you, it will show no mercy… but mates will. They will listen, support and have your back. Build a strong network… live a better life.
