“If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it!”

??Where can I apply this in my life?

I imagine that we all have had the experience of missing out, because we waited too long, and the ship left without us. How often do we later wonder what we were waiting for? Yes, we’ve all been there. However, I would recommend going light on the squabble and learn from the adventure.

How do you know it’s your ship? That’s a very personal question, and only you can answer that question. Not every ship that sails by or stops in is for you. Figuring out which is which is an interesting activity. But just sitting on your butt in the sand isn’t going to get you onboard, is it?

By the time you figure out it’s not coming in to dock, it may already be pulling away, headed off to get someone else. Someone who wants to be on board more than you did. Is that something you want to happen to you? I would think that you wouldn’t.

So, once you have a good idea as to what you want to do, it might be prudent to keep a sharp eye out for your ship. Or, if on closer consideration, you determine that you aren’t waiting for a ship, but are waiting for a train, it might be time to leave the beach and find the train station, right?

For most of the people I have read biographies of, and from my own experience, the path from where you are to where you want to be is rarely a straight line. In how many areas of your life are you waiting, passively, for something special to happen?

Can you take a moment to consider what you would need to make it worth swimming out to meet your ship? How well does it have to be worth it? Try it for each area of your life and see what you think.

Keeping your eyes open ?? for anything that advances you in the direction of your goals or dreams is necessary to spot your ship. Once you know how badly you want to get to it, you’ll know how far out you’re willing to swim to get to it.???♂???

??Is this your ship too? Are you ready to get wet? To reach out to your GOALS.!????
