Life is like a long winding river. There are some calm points, and there are some rough points. The easy points are easy to navigate through, just like in life. You can float down them with absolute calmness, without a fear in the world. You can just let the water take you wherever it wants to and guide you through without a care in the world.
The rough water is where you are challenged. You must rise up and ride the waves and rapids with the utmost confidence and caution. You must be prepared for these waters, because if you are not prepared for the rough stuff, you will most likely sink. Fear is not an option here….
Life is the same exact way. You can coast through life and just like the river, float your way through it without any obstacles that can test you or make you stronger, or you can invite the challenges of the rapids into your life, and meet these challenges head on. By doing this you can learn things and gain experience and confidence and implement these tools into your life to make you more complete…..
