The Spirituality of Surfing

On today's show:

I am so excited about today’s podcast. As an observer of life, I am passionate about the journey of creating the life you envision. No matter where you’ve started from or where you are today or the mistakes you feel you have made, I believe it's more than possible to live the life you want. In fact, I believe you can deliberately create it. And this podcast is dedicated to sharing information and having conversations with people who can offer new perspectives and provoke thought to create change in your own life. Today we are going to talk about the Spirituality of surfing.

Our guest navigator is Shuang-Min Chang. Shuang-Min has lived in some of the biggest cities in the world while achieving success in the fashion luxury industry. She's a life coach, writer, and avid surfer in a seaside village. She spends her time supporting driven women who have had career success and who put their work before everything. She guides them to walk on a new path and create success on their own terms by claiming their innate freedom & femininity, how to show up with love, and dare to live their deepest and boldest dreams.

Topics discussed:

• Shuang-Min Shares her surfing experience surfing and connects to her spiritual growth.

Memorable Quotes:

• “I realized the lesson surfing taught me, the key is not to get rid of fear, the key is to be with fear and still do what needs to be done.I don't need to get rid of it. I don't need to let it stop. My heart is pumping faster, that's all” - Shuang-Min

• “It's a part of the process. It's letting you know that you're growing. It is a good problem. It's not a bad problem. We're making it bad by sulking over it and emoting when it's really a part of the process .” - Sherylle

• “, I believe surfing is the only way to fulfill the miracle of walking on water. And so, what I was thinking is that, okay, this is in a way a miracle as a human, I can prefer if each wave is my own wave, because everyone has their own styles and each wave is different. So, basically each maneuver is different every single time. So if I can perform my own miracle on the water, why can't I perform miracles in my life?.” - Shuang-Min

• “When you start talking about letting go and surrendering, that is huge. Because we do want to control everything. We feel like if we control it, we can trust the outcome, but trust and control are not the same thing and if you want to get anywhere in life, we have to let some things go. We have to let go of the outcome.” - Sherylle
