Setting Sail
Setting sail is a sophisticated science in its own right. Despite the most unfavorable winds, if we set our sails just right, we can make the most of it and reach our destination safely.
The winds are the problems and calamities that we face in life and setting sail is the approach or thought process that we adopt to take advantage of the winds. It is all in our perspective and mindset. If we want, we can thrive in the most difficult situations.
Ships do not sink when they are surrounded by dangerous waters. Waters cause them to sail and reach their ports. It is when the water is allowed inside the ships that they scuttle. The water represents our fears, which, when outside us, propel us toward excellence, but when we let them enter, they drown us.
When traveling on a ship, we need to have the patience to wait out the storms and the long journey. We do not have the option to give up halfway. Likewise, in life, we must develop the patience to stay on the natural way of life.
When we finally reach our destination, we do not exult. Rather, we should attribute it to the mercy of God and be grateful.
