My 6 word memoir is:
Ride faster, get better, move forward!
I love riding dirt bikes. When I ride I feel one with my machine. Accelerating as fast as you can in the straight aways, and then leaning into the turns, trying to ride a clean fast line so the guy behind you can't get past. A good ride leaves my soul fully recharged. The more I ride the more my skills improve, and this allows me to ride faster and progress to more technical and difficult riding. This allows me to move forward as a rider. I feel like this is also a metaphor for life. When I really want something, I focus on that goal and begin planning my strategy to achieve it. Even if I have to do something that I may not be very good at, I just start trying and eventually I get it right, and I achieve my goal. This allows me to move forward as a person. Someone really smart once said, "you never fail as long as you keep trying." I find that in my life I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I've never listened to anyone who told me I could not do something. I am the only obstacle in my path to success. I enjoyed this activity because when I read my memoir I'm reminded about riding motorcycles, which I love, but more importantly I'm reminded that I can achieve anything, all it takes is proper planning followed by unwavering action!
I really like your 6 words because not only are they motivational for something you enjoy doing but theyre also percieved towards a lifestyle
ReplyDeleteyour 6 words are great words for motivation with things! you need to do your best in order to get better and once you get better you can move on and succeed and accomplish things.
ReplyDelete"You never fail, as long as you keep trying". I love it! I really enjoyed reading this blog post because you also said that you are the only obstacle in your path to success. That really is so true and I love that you brought that up because it is nice to be reminded that! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your six words and also speed in general. I love driving fast but I have three speeding tickets that makes me go slower than I like to. Riding dirt bikes must me so much fun, but I have not been brave enough to try it ;)
ReplyDeletelove it!! that means so much in just six words and can mean more than just driving.. but thats a great way to look at it!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool that your passion also describes the lifestyle you want to lead. Yes, it is easy to let other things get in the way of what we want/need to do but moving forward is more rewarding.
