Greetings Lyne and SB faithful sorry I have not posted yet on this but what a great thread!
For me it is "SUPERIOR ATTITUDE"!
When I started training in 2007 I was at a point in my life that was emerging from many negative influences. I was caught up in the struggles of life, marriage, kids, career and most if not all the adventure / discovery was gone.
It even sounds depressing doesn't it! Well it gets far better very soon.
There was something very different about the dive instructor and DM that I started to train with.
They must have seen the spark that was down there somewhere!
My pool journey was one to regal that I have shared many times about.
It was a struggle to put it bluntly and before I passed I had an one on one with the Instructor that pretty much I decided to conquer this issue and I was going to do it today!
I put 30 lbs of lead on my belt and asked him to not let me surface while keeping the reg in my mouth. This made him very nervous as it would anyone and I am certain you could have not pinched a dime in his rear. He reluctantly agreed.
When we walked to the bottom of the pool I sat down on the bottom, I knew that I had
air a plenty, trusted the man in front of with my life, and off went the mask!
What came next taught me that some things in life we have to struggle through to regain control of our minds and bodies reactions.
Our brains can be screaming to run or die yet we can override them and gain mastery! That lesson supercharged a stalemated man!
That willingness to push past the comfort and into uncharted waters opened a part of my life that I never knew existed!
What was born out of this was a committed, determination to move forward with positively charged ATTITUDE!
The past days behind me pushing into the uncharted waters ahead!
The adventure is all around us but so many have blinders that they can not see many never embrace this side of life but passively roll by.
I am going where dreams come true, and life is an adventure, and magic happens!
See you on the surface interval! Safe diving all.
CamG Keep diving....Keep training....Keep learning!
