Stop fighting the wind.

I’m no sailor, but I know that the right amount of wind is required to move a sailboat forward. I also know that sailors don’t control the wind, but that the great ones have figured out how to work with it. 

We can’t control everything that happens in our lives. But perhaps we can be a bit more like sailors in how we navigate and focus our energy.

We can try to work with (rather than resist) what is happening in our lives. Even though we won't get it all right away, we'll get better with practice. And then we might just be surprised at the shifts in our lives.
