An Easy Sail NEVER Makes A Good Sailor

An Easy Sail NEVER Makes A Good Sailor

Who buys this one-liner.  That indeed, An Easy Sail NEVER Makes A Good Sailor.  I buy this.  WHY?  Because this practically applies to any endeavor in life.  You want an easy ride, an easy life, a low-effort journey, a flight where you can just activate the AUTO-PILOT?  Of course that's feasible for aircrafts but if you are an up and coming pilot, will you learn your trade effectively via that AUTO-PILOT button❓❓❓

There's a saying that LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS.  While you may try to be ready for every eventuality, setbacks will happen along the way regardless of your intense preparedness.  We've all been in a situation in which an obstacle would have left us either intimidated or worse, quite frightened.  Seriously, given all the variables in our life, t becomes imperative that we view these times NOT as an invitation to give up BUT rather as a chance to prove our mettle📌📌📌

So, when you get hit with challenges, what do we do?  Remind yourself that what you are going through is relative in nature.  Think of others are are facing much bigger obstacles than yourself.  Instead, BE THANKFUL that your challenges are NOT as intense [as what others are facing].  Take a deep breath, make a plan of action and prepare for both the BEST and the WORST scenarios.  Being in that game is already half the battle.  You've got to figure it out to survive the second half of the game⏳⏳⏳

Fears, any?  Obviously we have all our fears.  So, how do we handle it?  REFRAME YOUR FEARS because the more we think about something, the bigger it gets.  Acknowledge your FEARS and sense of feeling overwhelmed and ask yourself for another perspective.  Do engage in SELF-TALK.  When FEAR arises, we are often too quick to react to it BUT living it out or pushing it aside only feeds it further❗❗❗

In brief, LET GO OF WHAT YOU FEAR. That fear of losing those things is usually strong enough to prevent us from accepting the loss.  If we can imagine life 'without the thing', we can proceed with COURAGE [and be detached from the OUTCOME].  Truly, AN EASY SAIL NEVER MAKES A GOOD SAILOR✅✅✅
