Resources

I always say that the key to progression is the use of resources, it ranges from a couple of rocks, some walls, an experiance indivdual. The list goes on forever, when wanting to achieve something or become someone I sometimes forget about the very surroundings I can take from and use for myself to learn from the simplests of books, college or just going out for a walk that carries some form of benefit.

Parkour has unlimted resources I find myself in an area that breaks me down, makes me feel like I can't handle the dangers. 15 minutes later and I'm flying across the place like theres no tomorrow, the strange lesson in this being I know a lot more and have gained more in 15 minutes than I would have in 15 days in previous years of my journey.

I know it's natrual to be afraid of a dense area of only railings with drops that range from 2 feet to 10 feet. This far in my Parkour "Journey" I know pretty well that its easily picked up. I may have been slow and unsure when trying new things or progressing say last year but one thing that stayed the same was my persistancy.

It doesn't matter if someone lands a jump first time and takes the other person 10 minutes of small progressional jumps. If anything I feel the person who takes longer may benefit because they gain strength and understanding of their body and themselves. 10 minutes later the once doubtful person is now equal to that of the one who completed the task 10 minutes before them.

What I have learnt this year is time is the root of all progression. It doesn't matter if it takes 1 year or 10 years as long as you made the most of that time during those year of years because once achieved you merely feel priviliaged by those years of bumps, scrapes and cuts.

Right now there is something I could say I couldn't do but if I dedicated an hour of my life to it I can promise by the end of that hour I would have achieved it and if not I would know where I stand, I would know more on solving the equation than I would sitting here guessing.

That pretty much is how I have been progression so much these last 3-4 months I use the time I have. I bless every minute of the time I spend learning and walking the planet. I won't lie I have my fair share of down time moments where I won't be training or doing Parkour I just sit around and recover.

As every passing day goes by I know more and more that all my hopes and dreams will become the reality that I live today because I have the time and I have the resources. I can become the very thing I dream of everyday because I try and I try, I expand and take in.

Moments like now were I sit and do my college work I don't doubt myself for a second because I get excited at the thought of being able to go out and make something of myself like I have for the last 3 years I only wish other people could see things the way I do so they knew that impossible is misunderstood term for difficult which is also misunderstood for "lack the use of resources and time."
