We discipline ourselves to brace the impact of the negativity it shoves in our path. We embrace the blessings life has to offer us, welcoming it as it showers us with comfort. But to ready ourselves, be it an impact or a calm wave, we always have something to keep our feet planted, keep us grounded.
You can call it your motto in life, a set of principles you follow, your sense of self, a material object, or even a person, whatever it may be, it is what keeps you from drifting away. Away from what you perceive as the correct path of life. The path you believe that is deserving. Whenever you tend to stray from your path, ready yourself and keep steady. Then move forward, towards that goal.
What happens then when you lose what keeps you steady? Then you wonder, question, get frustrated and ultimately get lost in the drudgery of life. You face the storm of what life can throw at you. Only when you pass the storm, will you then learn what is needed to plant your feet again, correct your heading, and move towards your goal again.
Life is dynamic, ever changing and challenging, like the ocean. Your being is a ship, and what is a ship without an anchor?
