A wise man was once asked to share one piece of advice to a large group of people.
“When a wave comes, go deep,” he said.
The crowd stared back at him puzzled, so he continued.
“There are three things you can do when life sends a wave at you.
You can run from it, but then it’s going to catch up and knock you down. You can fall back on your ego or try to stand your ground, but then it’s going to clobber you.
Or you can use it as an opportunity to go deep, and transform yourself to match the circumstances… and that’s how you get through the wave.”
There will be times in your life where an unexpected event may happen. Your reality is changed, you may feel uncertain about how to move forward. During these times, there’s only one true way to get through:
Embrace the riptide and go deep.
Because when we match the depths of our challenges, we come out even stronger.
