mikebjork captioned this video – You got to start somewhere!  I’m really glad for the reminder because when you’re watching super shredders it’s easy to get discouraged and feel defeated because of what you can’t yet do.

Focus on what you can do.  If all you can do is get out the skateboard and stand on it – celebrate that.  Everything has a first step – really there’s no running without the first step.

Surround yourself with encouraging people – both those physically around you & who you hang out with on social media.  Mike and his daughter are in Halmstad Sweden – which is far far away from San Diego CA USA – yet they are sharing encouragement so other girls can see skateboarding is fun.

Every day is not going to be “the best day ever” but every day can be the day you look at things positively – looking for opportunities both on & off the board is stylish!
