We need to try to make every day the kind of day we know we will look back on fondly. Easier said than done, but not impossible.
“When we glance over our shoulder we only choose to see the beautiful sunset but not the burned out cars, smoking buildings, and yellow police tape.”

If I could go back in time and speak to myself that’s easy, I’d tell myself the winning lotto numbers, then use that money to take care of the living basics first, make lucrative investments so me and my family are set up for life. Then with my new found free time and money, start my own yo-yo company, promote contest, sponsor some players, pass the time learning new tricks, oh and own a motorcycle from every major manufacturer but that’s just me being selfish . Maybe I can balance that out with traveling the nation on two wheels doing demos and handing out free throws, so yeah simple right?
Rewatch the videos. properly. concentrate and practice basics again and again.be consistent. and don’t regret of your mistakes/failures just learn from them.
I would go back to the kid in middle school during the Yomega craze in the 90s and tell him to not give it up. That it’s a good thing that has many benefits. I picked it back up less than a year ago and I’m still not that good. I would probably be really good if I never gave it up.
If I could back to the beginning; I would tell myself, ‘Stupid; Don’t crack those Dinosaur eggs! Even if you think the Mother T-Rex isn’t close. Do I listen? I wouldn’t be limping today if I did’.
If there is no past or future, you can never say you’ve suffered. You can’t even say ‘I’m suffering’ because any moment experienced now instantly enters the past upon its realisation. In fact if there is no past, that quote never happened because I’m not reading it now and I can’t say that I’ve read it if the past doesn’t exist.
