My surfing coach showed me how to do proper pop-ups on a surfboard lying on couch cushions about three and a half years ago. He filmed me and then compared the film to videos of pro surfers popping up on their boards. It was easy to see what changes I needed to make. It ends up that when an athlete repeats a specific athletic movement correctly 10,000 times, they will master the movement and be able to perform it at will without giving any thought to it. Ten thousand pop-ups seemed like such a monumental task, especially at the beginning when I sucked at it. But I did the math and figured that if I just did ten every morning, I would accomplish the goal in about three years. This past week, the waves have been solid, and I’ve been surfing well. Yesterday, I noticed my pop-ups have become smooth and seamless. I’ve completed ten thousand pop-ups. I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t feel like doing my exercises along the way.

When we remain in devotion to Will during Divine Rage, the string on the Bow of Sagittarius begins to draw. The more intense the struggle, the more tension on the bow. And then the most remarkable thing happens at what always seems to be the last second. When I am sure that I am at my wit’s end…that a particular moment will be my last-ditch effort to see something through to the end…when I am sure that I am about to give up… I go for it one last time…the Archer can no longer bend the bow any further… And the Arrow of Sagittarius is released.

P.S. I made all of the clothes in the marketing material you will see for the next few months. Look for The Sage Surfer Clothing Line to launch in the near future. Also a new chapter of THE JUICE launches on the first of every month…sign up at http://thesagesurfer.com
