I went to South Lake Tahoe this past weekend. I took some nasty spills skiing and bruised myself even more learning how to snowboard, but I have no regrets. The air was crisp and clean and the snow was simply beautiful. As I was going up the ski lift, snow began to fall. It felt so good to have snow flakes on my face, but what was most apparent was how quiet it was. Even with people all around me, I was at peace. Life is funny. I'm so careful about making huge life decisions (business school not withstanding), but don't hesitate when it comes to trying something new like snowboarding. I think it was a number of factors, but I think it was being in a new environment and feeling less pressure to perform for anyone that gave me the courage to be adventurous. I was at peace with myself because I wasn't trying to impress anyone and was truly being content with myself. I need to remember this philosophy more often at sea level.
