Catch The Wave

William Shakespeare once wrote:

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.


This is such a powerful statement and is so meaningful to our lives today in countless ways. It is important to take chances as they approach us. Do not let opportunities pass us by. These opportunities empower us and power is what pushes our rivers into the ocean, the bigger picture. If we miss our chance to take a hold of this power and miss these opportunities then we will wind up stranded, standing on a sand bank, waiting for what may or may not come. Go with the flow, take a hold of things as they come. Do not let life pass you by.
