“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
We have no control over the winds of life and indeed are at their mercy as to where they send us. However, being aware that this is life as we know it, and taking steps to adjust our outlook and our plans as and when necessary, means that being off-course now and then needn’t be a disaster. Being prepared to adjust and change allows us to carry on regardless of where we find ourselves and, indeed, if not enjoy the experience, to at least cope with it while it lasts.
