We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
As we sail through life, we don’t avoid rough waters; sail on because calm waters won’t make a skillful sailor. So, each day, we need to check the direction of the wind, decide where we want to go and then set our sails to get there – as opposed to cursing the wind for not making it easy.
Play with life, laugh with life, dance lightly with life, and smile at the riddles of life, knowing that life’s only true lessons are writ small in the margin.
