Life can be a fun game

Last week, me and some friends from my tennis club Say Tennis had our very first friendly match with another tennis club in town. You know, I’ve played tennis for many years but I’ve never felt really confident with my skills.

Say Tennis was officially founded in 2019, but many of us had been played for a while. I remember back in 2021 our tennis coach passed away suddenly, it broke our hearts but we managed to keep playing at least once a week.

Not until last week, was our very first match with people not from our group. It was sooo fun, we had such a great time. We won the game 6-2, and I actually contributed in the mixed double and women’s double. I was in awe, oh wow I thought I’m not that good, like really, I thought my skill is somehow below the standard ~ how could I win two matches?

When reflect back to life, sometimes we are just so afraid to walk out of the door. Turns out, the outside world is never as scary as we thought. Here’s what I learned..

We are so much better than we think

Most of the time we underestimate ourselves, it is so easy to get caught in the feeling of not enough. But hey, sometimes we just have to try.. it might surprise you.

Life is so much more fun on the other side of our comfort zone

It’s nice being in our comfort zone, but sometimes we got blinded by something better, and potentially more fun outside the door. For me it is playing tennis in my tennis club, however, it can be something else like our environment, job, friends…

What if we start to take a look at the other side of it and explore? It could be even more fulfilling!

Don’t take life too seriously

Really, sometimes we just need to have fun with it. We can even imagine life is just a fun game. Even if we lost the match, I’m sure we would still be thrilled because we had such a great time!

Turns out there are many (fun) things going on when you put yourself out there, not just the game, but also meeting new people, playing in the different courts and else. We (both clubs) even started to plan joint practice now!

So, what is one new thing you want to do this week?

I love you and have fun this week!

Lots of love,
Inuk ❤️
