Taking On Water

Have you ever thought about the fact that a boat can be surrounded by water, sailing through a huge ocean with water for miles in every direction, but it’s not any problem unless the boat starts taking on the water?

If the boat starts allowing the ocean to come inside, before long, it will sink. The same principle is true in life. You can have trouble all around you — stress, frustration and worry. The good news is, just like that boat, you don’t have to allow what’s on the outside get on the inside. When difficult times come, you don’t have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or fear. What should you do? Keep the correct perspective. Never allowing fear to enter your mind. Stay focused on what you can do and what you can control. Opportunities for disaster and failure will come, but you don’t have to allow them to over take you. Stay strong in the storm. Is your boat taking on water today?
