Life comes at us in waves. We can’t predict or control those waves, but we can learn to surf. ~ Dan Millman
NOTE: When my five daughters were young I taught them to swim and to survive in the water. Each summer we’d swim off Cape Hatteras. We respected the ocean and its power, but we did not fear it. It’s the same way with life. As we grow through life, life tosses challenges at us. Some of the challenges knock us flat on our backs. While we’re on our backs, life is screaming at us, “Get up! Get up! You got this!” When we rose we were stronger, more experienced, and more confident. Challenges will never stop coming. They’re like the waves in the quote. Learn to ride them. Life’s given us an education, if we use it and keep learning we’ll keep getting stronger and gaining experience.
