Catch a Wave

  • Catch a Wave

Dear Friends,

Last fall, Jean and I visited my son-in-law’s parents in San Diego. While we were there, my son-in-law, Steven, took me surfing 🏄- something I had never done before.

We went surfing two times, and on both occasions, there were hundreds of people out. Most of the time that you spend surfing, you are actually sitting on the board, judging waves to see which one is worth your energy to catch.  

If you attempt to catch a wave and don’t time it right or the wave never materializes, you can expend a lot of energy with no results.

 

I learned that a good wave has the right size, mass, height, and tempo. It can have all of those components, but if you don’t time it right…BOOM! The wave goes crashing down on you. This is what I imagine it feels like to be tossed into a washing machine!

By the second day I was riding way more waves, albeit lunging on one knee and one foot. After a successful ride, if you want to stay in the game, you have to go against the current and right THROUGH the waves to get back out there. Steven taught me techniques to make that easier.

Spiritually, mentally, and physically, we are all surfing. Trying to catch a wave of happiness and health.🙂 As with surfing, the more you put yourself out there, the better you will become. If you expect to surf a mega wave and ride through the curl on your first ride, you will be disappointed (and probably get hurt)!

Evolving in any aspect of life takes effort, but also finesse. You have to be able to learn to adapt and try new techniques. If you go at it alone, you will waste a lot of energy. As I sat on the board, I learned from those around me who were way more experienced. Their timing, the way they angled themselves on the board when they stood up, and which waves they did and didn’t take. Each attempt was a successful experiment at ruling different techniques in or out.

So grab your surfboard and take notice of the wonders and opportunities that surround you.

 

Like The Beach Boys sang: “Catch a wave and you’re sitting on top of the world!”

God Bless,

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
