Break Boundaries. Live Life.

anth_skyI know that time is precious in our extremely busy world. To whoever is reading, I challenge you. Next time you find yourself in front of your television, flipping channels, turn it off. Walk around your block. Pick up a book. Bake some muffins. Attempt to make your favorite Indian dish. Go to your local thrift store and buy a pair of $5 roller skates and use them. Join a coed volleyball team. Register for a night class. Drive to Vegas. Drop your pants and swim in the ocean. Go buy a hummingbird feeder. Play badminton with your mom. Plan a bbq. Send a surprise postcard to an out of state friend. Whatever you have always thought would be a fun thing to do in life and have not done, DO IT! Break boundaries! Get focused! Have fun! Laugh! Spread love!

I have a great aunt who moved to the USA from France when she was a young girl. She recently told me how she had always planned to go back and visit the places she and her parents had lived. She is now 89 years old and is unable to make such a trip. Her words of wisdom to me were “Do everything you want to in life before it’s too late.”

I know that this is Anthony Johnson’s World of Skateboarding, and I have far strayed from the subject of skateboarding, but I felt it had to be said. I promise my next entry will be more focused on skateboarding…in fact, it is in the works at the moment. Thanks for reading.

ALL LOVE!

    Well said! I can’t believe how much of people’s precious lives are filled with television. What a waste. I applaud you for getting out there and doing what you love.
