Sail life's ocean

YOU ARE A SHIP BUILT TO SAIL

Life is not a stagnant pond like some people think, it is like a vast body of water, an untamed ocean without ends, and you were meant to voyage as far into the vastness as you can. You were never meant to be anchored on the shore, watching the waves from a safe distance, fearing being swept away by the tides, not ready to do what you were built for. You are like a ship, you were built to sail.

The sea will not always be calm, the storms will always rise, winds will howl, and waves will crash against your hull, that does not hinder your sail, or stop you from moving forward. A ship is not judged by its ability to avoid the storm, rather, it is judged by its ability to ride through the storm, and come out unscathed. You were born to be resilient, strong, and weather the storms. Challenges on the sea of life are not meant to turn you back to shore, they should move you forward.

You have what it takes to sail through the sea and its turbulence, you have the compass of instincts that knows your true north, and an inner voice that leads you in the path that you should follow; when people tell you not to try, when people tell you the waters are too deep, too rough, and too tough to navigate, tell them that you were built for it, and you have what it takes to sail through the challenges and difficulties.

Set your sail, aim for the best. As you sail on, the horizon keeps unfolding, your limit keeps expanding, and the whole world is yours to take. Listen to the voice of purpose within you, and follow. When the sea rages, just be calm, and keep sailing. Soon, you will be out of it. Even though the ship is safe in the harbour, that is not what it is built for, it is built to sail.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
