Don’t blink because you’ll miss an opportunity to see the beauty all around you. Learn to enjoy the ride because one day your trip will end and when it’s over you want to be able to say “What a ride”
Life can be compared to taking a trip down a river on a raft. Even though there’s one river there are different parts of the trip; the beginning, the middle, and the end. At the very beginning you get a feel for the river, but even before beginning the trip you should know if there has been some previous rain, understand what the conditions will be like, also what the weather is and where the end is. I equate this to getting to know your own mind, the more this is understood the less surprises there will be. When the trip begins it’s usually very calm as you just float along with the current, kind of like just being along for the ride. As the trip continues there will be obstacles in place that will need to be dealt with, if they’re not it can damage or even flip the raft (self sabotage).
There will be times when there’s not much paddling because it’s calm and there will be other times when there are rapids and you’ll need to row and steer or possibly get sucked up by the river; life also does this as there are times when it’s seen as a burden. The most important thing to be done is to notice the beauty all around you, it’s a very big part of your trip. You don’t want to get all caught up in the rowing and destination and not see what’s around you. Never miss an opportunity to see the beauty around you. Learn to enjoy the ride because one day as with any trip it will end and when it’s all said and done, you want to be able to say, what a ride…
