Staying afloat for a long period of time can be frustrating. The main reason is because deep down you know the next move after staying afloat is to turn on the engine and go towards the destination.

As if a stalemate, now you are stuck in the condition of being afloat. Don’t get me wrong. You are lucky enough to not drown in the depths of the ocean. But you have been at this state for way too long according to your clock. The clock is relative, and there need to exist a sense of urgency. A strong push to some extent to achieve progress and reach clarity.

If the paddle did not propel, do not throw it away. Try to repurpose it, reimagine it, and remember why it was there in the first place. Nothing lasts forever and that is why you must work on the dynamics, movements, and build momentum. The hardest part is always the beginning when you want to start the swing. You will find constructive winds pushing you foward as long as you start to nudge at the situation. Then without you realize, you will be able to see the amplitude at the altitude you once dream for. It can be a reality, as long as you are patient and persistent enough to put it inside of your mind and translate it into actions. The days are long and the years are short. How you spend the hours is how you spend your days, and eventually years.

Four straight months already slipped and try to look backwards for a moment and decide whether those are the things, activities, and peoples that you want to spend your time with, or you have another direction that requires you to realign the bearing to the actual degree?

Dare to plan and dare to take what is needed to realize the plan. Those are the two qualities necessary to make the plan into life. Necessary to make a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Change starts from something unnoticeable before turning into a radical one that transforms your life and the life of many others. Make those diffs, turns, leaps, jabs, strides, forward.
