until at one moment you realize you are out of juice and out of breath and your thoughts are straggling. Quantity of tasks are inversely proportional to quantity of time.
No, no one said it would be easy. But with hindsight - I should be probably used to this by now, if not ashamed of the spontaneous moments of weakness. If at 10 I could combine school, with good grades in my "special mathematical class", music school, extra English lessons, books, friends and some creative activities - 15 years later, I just must be a professional multi-tasker!
"Breathe!" - says my boxing instructor.- "If you do not breathe you won't get enough strength and concentration for your punches".
"Don't forget to breathe" - says my yoga instructor,- " You are rushing into your poses too much. Take it slow, move smoothly and keep on breathing deep".
...If I have already done so much to bring myself to where I am now, I bet I can do more. There is nothing in my life now that has not happened before, in one form or another; only when knowledge and skills grow and develop - the challenges become harder, and the goals - higher. And that must be a good sign :)
So I continue working, and studying, and writing, and reading, and running, and punching, and cooking, and learning something new, and playing the piano, and laughing with friends, and making travel plans, and planning my next big leap.
And breathing...
