It helps to look at what happens to us as an opportunity. Even things we don’t want to happen could become challenges and make us take another direction, which could improve our lives.
Our goal is to turn a negative into a positive.
If we don’t take hold of each and every challenge, we will go through our lives missing boat after boat. We will look back and feel regret that we didn’t seize the moment when our ship came in.
Remember that everyone is in the same boat. The difference is what we do when we get on board. Some will plan ahead and some will not.
Remember, when Noah built the boat, it wasn’t raining. That was really planning ahead!
