Rough Seas

Do you feel like you're riding out a hurricane in a small boat in the ocean? Sometimes our life feels that way. Maybe you were living your life like you always have but things around you began to change. Perhaps you created change yourself. Then, one thing leads to another, which creates more change and that leads to something else and suddenly you feel like there are 10 foot waves crashing all around you. However it begins, whether the change is intentioned or not, you can feel caught up in a very scary storm.

When I find myself in the midst of something scary like that I work on 2 things:
1) being peaceful and calm
2) taking action!!

Keeping some semblance of peace helps me slow down enough to take a good look around when I reach the top of a wave. Even though the waves are big and scary, they also give me a great vantage point. When I reach the top I can see a long way. From here I can see new options and new possibilities.

Taking action moves me out of the storm. The only way to get out of this thing is to move forward. So the key here is to not let fear stop me, just keep moving.

Your life can be amazing, it can be an exciting adventure. Just remember that these moments can be part of the adventure. So take a deep breath, look around for possibilities and take action!
