Adversity helps !

Ever thought about:

• It seems your life is only dependent on your circumstances?
• Does life happen to you?
• Do you live life or does life lives you?

Let's look at the life of a sailor that has to sail his boat to the port.
No matter what direction of the wind, a professional sailor is able to direct his boat to his destination, the port.

Even with adverse wind he manages to do so by a technique called

Tacking = zigzagging upwind

The only problem with sailing is when

There is no wind at all !
It's just like in our lives. When we don't encounter resistance, disagreement or disappointment, we will not be able to grow in life and we will not reach our destination.

A healthy, right sized, quantity of resistances in our life, help us to see the obstacles in our lives that prohibit us from development or growth.


So let's hope our circumstances in life keep moving.

So let's hope our circumstances in life keep moving.
Moving stairs at the fair This helps us to make our necessary steps in life.

It's just like climbing the "moving stairs" at the fair.

The circumstances (stairs) go up and down, and you have to make progress by making steps !



Now in a close relation, keep in mind to let the wind blow between the two of you, simply to make it possible for the both of you to zigzag to your common port.
