“Life is like sailing. You can use any wind to go in any direction.” Robert Brault
Are we sailing north on purpose, or is it because the wind is taking us that way?
Life will throw its curveballs, its unseen illnesses, injuries, and schedule conflicts. But is is a choice to allow those to change our cardinal direction. There is always a way to continue in the direction we want to go.
When the challenge strikes, we don’t adjust the goal, we adjust the sails.
