People in my surroundings often wonder why i love freediving, and asking questions like :
-Why do you practise free-diving when it is so extreme and dangerous?
I have never given them my real cause, because they often dont have the time or will to understand. So i often give them answers like:
-Free-diving isnt more dangerous or extreme than anything else.
It can be dangerous if you push your limits under uncontrolled forms, but the same goes if you drives a car like a madman, it depends of how you behave.
But that isnt an answer of why my passion for free-diving is so strong, and i dont intend to share it with people who doesnt understand anyway, but i will share it with you.
I have been at the ocean since i was a little kid, my parents had some boats when i grew up. so i was spending my summer time at the ocean during my childhood.
As i grow older i often went to the ocean by myself just sitting on cliff to clear my thoughts, it made listen to my hearts inner voice.
It felt good to leave all wordly-thoughts and to think about what it is that is really important in my life?
Life is to short to be thrown away at alot of unsgnificant things,
we are all wasting alot of our precious time that we have on this planet.
we are often forgetting all the wonderful and beutiful things that we have at an advantage to a soceity-norm that often makes us more harm than good.
Im no better than anyone else im contrubuting to the life-style that makes us forgetting about our true seleves.
But my times in /at the ocean makes me to remember, it my "alarm-clock".
Its the same of "alarm-clock" that rings when you or someone of your nearest or dearest is experiencing something really tragic.
Then we usually think of whats really important and we reevalutes our thoughts.
ex:-Maybe i should be pefectly happy as long as my nearest and dearest are healthy and happy instead of moaning about that old shitty car that stands in my garage.
When i write something like this it seems so obvious, but we´re all forgetting at time to time.
Thats when we are all need to stop for a minute and listen to our hearts inner voice....i found mine at/in the ocean...some finds it some religion...some find it in something else....and some (God have mercy on them) never finding it.
So when people in my surrounding asks me why i love free-diving, i should answer them:
-The ocean is my god.
-The ocean has opend my eyes and made my mind clear
-The ocean makes me a better person and has made me to whom i am today.
Then its obvious why i free-dives!
To become apart of something that always has and always will be a part of me, and to practise something that opens up my heart and and gives me the inner strength that i need to not forget the true values in my life.
Thats why i love free-diving.
