I cannot control the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails. This simple analogy to life is very clear to most, but what amazes me is how difficult the lessons I learn on the water are so difficult to translate into situations on land. I know what to do at sea, but I still find it difficult to adjust my sails (plans/energies) to meet changing winds (life circumstances) off the water. I also still try to control the direction of the wind on land and I usually drown in a metaphorical sense.
