Life is What You Make of It

“Life is what you make of it” is a statement everyone has heard at one time or another, but I prefer to say, “Life is like boating down a river, you steer in one direction, sometimes on smooth waters and sometimes with rough waters, ultimately it’s how you navigate around its banks and obstacles that make all the difference in the world.”

I often like to think I’m the boat captain on that body of water, sometimes it feels like a Rhine River cruise, boring after the first few castles but in reality, it’s always a challenge to navigate the waterways and stay the course.

While experience is helpful in navigation, there is always much to learn on each trip. You’ll learn the short-cuts, the pitfalls, the safe zones, the dangerous curves and the safe water. You’ll find your passengers along the way are who they are, some real and some not, but ultimately your character will build through it all, and if you’re lucky, you’ll steer yourself in a positive direction.

Life is not so much what you make of it, but more of what you do with it as it’s placed before you. Life is great and the negative aspects it has to offer will only build your courage to grow within the community of life. Ultimately it flows in one direction and not losing that focus will keep you positive.

Those are my thoughts today as we start packing out for another Virgin Islands, Exotic, Glamour, Beauty and the Nude workshop for next week—the beauty of it all, the secluded island were we go is surrounded by water, hence why some call it paradise like no other when it comes to living life.
