What does it mean to be obsessed?

It’s currently 3am on the morning of one of my biggest tests in my training for Bondi to Manly, I plan to run the first leg to familiarize myself with the 1st 35km of the trail Bondi to Sydney Harbor. To say I”m excited i an understatement, I feel like I’m back in little league again with my uniform all laid out sleeping with my new glove and my bat ready to roll out for the first time. Is it in the quest of becoming something I know I’m not yet capable of or is it in the pushing outside my current perceived limits, I don’t know but there is something I can’t describe that comes into play when all of a sudden we take the safety belt of to life and start playing well beyond what we’re currently capable of. The only way is to grow, to rise up to enhance our current capacity and for me that is where life takes an absolute leap to an entirely new realm and possibility. Had the same feeling in Baseball at the Olympics in Athens and now in running.

I’m about to run for 35km in 3 hours why the heck am I so excited I’m about to put myself through a whole world of pain, but it’s on that trail running along the water that I feel at absolute peace. My mind slows down I become 100% present and in the now. Feeling one stride in front of the other my senses all heighten and my soul of endless possibility takes over. This is living in flow but how about creating in flow or the zone once we create and provide room to design in this place there’s absolutely nothing that our soul perceives we can’t do. In the zone “the voice in our head” our mind slows down and disappears we’re now in complete harmony and connection with our body, surroundings and higher self.

Remember at this point I still haven’t run a full marathon my Boston qualifier has been postponed to the end of August which a couple weeks ago I decided to double down on the same day and run double the distance from the two most iconic beaches in Sydney, Bondi to Manly my own parents said I was mad lol!! “Trent you’re going to kill yourself” My Mum said when I told her of my new goal with beaming eyes and energy she’s seen all to many times before. Funny thing is as she said that it rolled right over me like water on a duck as I’ve never felt so alive as I do with my new found obsession into the endurance realm.

Last night I was listening to an amazing podcast as I was driving back from visiting my parents the speaker asked an amazing question of what do you want your bio to read in five years if you could design it? What an amazing question because isn’t this so true the future is an entirely blank canvas. As I started to really ponder the question with the what drives us whats our passions, what if we could do anything with no limitations. All of a sudden my perceived cap on human capability dissolved and my mind started to dance in what if my bio read.
