When you’re on shore, you can look at the forecast, you can see the grey clouds rolling in, and you can make a decision to stay on land or venture out.
When you’re out at sea and far from land, no matter the size of the swell, the lashing wind, or the brewing storm, you need to sail through.
Most of life’s decisions are made from shore. But there will be a few moments and situations where we’re far out at sea. Knowing whether we’re on shore or at sea has a big impact on how we act.
In particular, we don’t need to press on when we don’t have to. There’ll be another day with clear skies.
