Ocean currents circle
the globe, carrying warm water in some places, cool in others. They are
consistent enough that ocean liners hitch rides on them to reach their destination
ahead of schedule. Sometimes life is like this, smooth sailing, when our course
is true and currents seem to speed us along.
But this is not always so. At
times, we may be whirled off course by hobbies or distractions, even
responsibilities. Sometimes our competing interests act as riptides, where
counter currents meet, creating violent turbulence, making progress impossible.
The ocean is malleable,
shifting and changing at all times. Its deep rivers often run in the opposite
direction of the shallow flows directly overhead. But despite changing tides and
conflicting currents, the Gulf Stream, the North Pacific Drift, the West
Australian Current and more, continue their journey. As must we, amid course
corrections and interesting side trips.
What are some of your
favorite hobbies or side trips in life? How do you balance these with your
goals and responsibilities?
