Henry David Thoreau once said. ~As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we hink over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.~ If you think about it, each time we metaphorically step foot into our own heart the inner mind games begins. A game in which our own thoughts start bouncing around in our heads to where its like we're playing a game of ping pong as we try to keep certain thoughts flowing and not let them fall of the proverbial ping pong table of life so to speak.
Without a doubt, pinog pong is a sport pf skill/technique/stamina but where it all starts is with the proper grip of the paddle. We all have our own way of gripping the paddle and for the most part, one usually sticks with what works for one's self. In some aspect, the paddle we all metaphorically hold in our hand is our heart and with each thought, we either let it bouce off the table or return it back to that particular person. For we all can be metnally fatigued at trying to keep one's thoughts steadily flowing and not letting those thoughts get to you, which can be a tough task indeed for anybody. Let me ask you this question, what type of grip do you have on your paddle as we speak?
When it comes to your "opponent", you don't want to be carless as to not to notice certain key shots and let them slip by you. Men, more so than women, tend to miss those signals that can initially have one lose points rather than gain them. Yet, its those shots that can sometimes be misconstrude as mixed signals by way of a look, touch, or a said word or words. For a person like myself whose job it is to observe, you notice things that a particular person is serving to you, to where you return it back, but not in a foreceful way. For its a similar return, but you hold back a little to see what you get back, which inevitably becomes a type of mental stamina for two minds.
In the game of ping pong its true that you shouldn't be careless; but careful, but too careful. Its a situation where a person can become overconfident and make mistakes both mentally and physically. Such mistakes that can be made are mentally messing up by overthinking situations that it becomes a problem to a point where the serves from that particular guy or girl is returned with such force that it stuns him or her to where it leave you totally or somewhat embaressed. For the question can be asked to each and every one of you, how many times have you been in that particular situation, whether it was in the past or present?
In retrospect, when it comes to the human heart each step we make is carefully made as thoughts and feelings are served to that particular person. Whether he or she returns those feelings are an unknown, but that doesn't mean one isn't answering those serves. For it can be a nonverbal return, which you have to notice in order to keep the ping pong match that is between two people alive. Ultimately, you have to make sure each and every shot you make count and when you see your shot take it. You see, I've taken my shot with a particular someone and hopefully I've made each shot count because in the end, this all this started several months back with just a thought.
