There’s a saying, “The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The realist adjusts the sail.”
I was speaking with a friend yesterday about adapting and being willing to adjust your own sails in order to rise one’s self to another level.
We see it time and time again… people fastened in their ways, almost stranded, because they have an idea of how it will work – they have a concrete plan. The problem with concrete is that once it’s set, it’s hard to break. We need to be willing to understand that adapting is all part of the development. The alterations may feel out of your comfort zone, and sometimes they may even feel more like a failure; but the beauty to be found in that, is that your not still cemented or caught in the wind taking you nowhere. You have moved forward. You’re no longer held in suspension.
Just remind yourself, that with every right or wrong bend in the sails – with courage, hard-work and tenacity in the rudder, you will get to your desired destination, and you will have learnt a hell of a lot about yourself on the way.
I pray all are having an undeniably magical week.
All my love, Tania xo
