As Long as You Live, Keep Learning How to Live - Seneca
Do you ever get that feeling that you are getting old but still there are thousands of things which you want(ed) to do but now you’re feeling “i’m too old for that shit”.
I have been feeling this for a long time. I started going to BJJ(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) classes three months ago because i wanted to learn this when i started watching UFC fights and keep hearing about BJJ again and again on Joe Rogan Podcast.
I started Kickboxing one month ago when i enrolled into local Kickboxing tournament even though i nothing about kickboxing. I started learning 2 weeks before the competition and somehow managed to win the fight just out of pure aggression.
One day, i’ll become a father and i’ll have kids. I want to play and learn with them - differnt kinds of sports, want to teach them musical instruments, try to solves puzzles, play chess, draw sketches and write stories togeher. do backflips, surfing, skiing and lots and lots of other things - together.
One day, i’ll get old and i just want to minimize the regrets - the regret of not doing/learning when i had the time.
So, with this, i am starting The Weekend Project.
Every weekend, i will try to do something. Learn something new or old. Try to explore new things and maybe brush up hobbies left in the past.
To my future self:
You don’t have to force yourself every weekend. Try to learn when you have the curiousity. try to push sometimes when you can’t. But remember, do take rest and recharge yourself.
Do journling if you can. When you get old, you will look at all these words again - it will be portal to your past - to see how much you outgrew yourself and a reminder that tough time does’t last.
As Matthew McConaughey says “Just Keep Livin’”.
