“A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.” – Unknown (English Proverb)
A friend of mine has this saying on a poster in her office. I always read it and think about what wonderful words they are. I love sayings like this that make you think. When times are difficult, or when things aren’t going the way I think they should, or want them to, these are the kinds of sayings that I try to steer toward.
It’s pretty easy to navigate smooth water, you just point and go, but when the water is rough, you need to calculate and adjust and “go with the flow.” So often, when things look bleak, I think it is easy to try to control situations rather than letting life take its course.
Have a great day!
