The Ocean - Adventures in Living

As a kid growing up in central California I used to love going to the beach. I loved the anticipation of traveling through the lush mountain forests waiting for that first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. I loved the heavy smell of salt in the air. I loved the way the blue sky blended into the water on the horizon. But most of all I loved swimming in the ocean. The rise and fall of the waves as I made my way through the shallow water was, for a kid, a daring adventure.

Then one day I found myself much farther from the shore than I'd ever been. My heart pounded out of my chest as the panic set in. Between the crests of the waves I could see the shore - it looked REALLY far away. A wave landed on me causing me to be submerged under the water. I came back to the surface and started swimming for shore.

I remember glancing at the shore frequently but my main focus was on the waves that would periodically slam into me.

The shore was the destination but dealing with each wave was critical to getting to that destination.

I just completed my final course on my path to my bachelor's degree and looking back the struggle stay on top of everything was very much like that ocean. The last 2 years were extremely challenging - I was going to school full time, working full time, playing in a band, working out, exploring new business opportunities and maintaining a relationship with my girlfriend. It was a challenge.

Often times the workload felt insane. Working on papers in the morning and evenings, going directly from my job to my school and knowing when to stop and take a breather was difficult. Looking back on it I realize that there were many times when I felt like a kid again out in the waves. The shore looked fantastic but if I wanted to survive long enough to make it there I had to focus on the waves that were rolling in.

I'm telling you this because most of us need to hear this message. Desperately. Are you struggling at your job right now, trying to find a way out? Maybe you've been trying to get your photography business going for years but you can't even pay for your supplies with the money your making. Do you need more education but you don't think you have the time or money?

Dive in. Keep your eyes on the shore but pay attention to the waves. You'll get there - and it will feel great.

I know there are many more waves to endure but I'll tell you what - walking on solid ground feels a whole lot better after spending a little time in the sea.
