Inspirational Saturday: Life is a Body of Water


Life is a body of water.

You get into it a
step at a time, but when you're an adult, you step down and find out that--whoops! The bottom of the pool is deep.

What you do next determines your life course.

One person will step off and drop like a weight, expecting a bottom, refusing to give up that hope and drowns.

One person will flail in panic just trying to survive until exhausted and then sinks to the bottom.

One person will float on his back with no direction, but staying afloat and alive he is alive, but he is directionless.

One person will figure out what keeps him afloat, figures out how to cover some distance and then thinks to set a course.

Which one are you right now in your life?
