When I was in my mid-twenties I was a training in Southern California I had paid thousands to go to this training as had several hundred other people. I knew about six people and we all in varying degrees of financial distress at the time. We all went to the beach together one afternoon to go swimming. All but one of us immediately jumped in the water and swam past the break. One of my friends kept getting bashed by the waves over and over again ending covered in sand and making no progress. After witnessing this for a short time I swam back in and said "The waves are like life; we can do three things get bashed by every wave that comes to our shores or we can learn to dive under/over the wave or we can flow with the wave". She swam out and dove under the wave. We had a wonderful time that afternoon playing in the water. I have thought of this many times over the years when I was letting life bash me instead of flowing with it. We all have moments like my friends, what is important is to stand back up and try again only maybe more in flow with life and less bashing! Summers coming lets go swimming.
