Life is like water. I wants to seek the easiest path as it flows downhill. It naturally wants to wind its way around obstacles as it flows from the source to the sea. But the lives, like water, that encounter obstacles and overcome them are the most interesting. The most spectacular. Think Niagara Falls. Think the Colorado River carving the Grand Canyon. Think the Mighty Mississippi. Make your life like them. They’re all more interesting than the drainage ditch in your backyard.
Use the power of your life to overcome the obstacles put before you. Make your life spectacular. Don’t just take the easy path to the sea.
