Sharks have much to teach us, because they never stop moving. When they stop moving they suffocate and die, which is why they sleep while swimming and are constantly in motion.

There comes a time in our lives when we are not sure which direction to take. Do we go left, or right, back-up, or stop? Should we change cars, take a train, a bus, an airplane or walk? Should we ask advice from a trusted source or search for answers from someone who is familiar with our condition? Is our circumstances unique Are we not responsible for this decision alone, and ultimately have to live with that decision? We want to say two things.

1. You are never alone, and
2. You are always in the right place at the right time.

This life’s travel is fool-proof. They studied accidents and found that people who were relaxed during the impact had less injuries than people who braced themselves. There must be a host of mitigating circumstances and details, so take that with a grain of salt. They also say not to die a thousand deaths when only one will inevitably come or not. This is a fancy way of saying “stop worrying.”

Every determination, every direction, and every subsequent outcome becomes a cherished vehicle to learn.

When Jesus spoke to me as quoted in Waking As Water: The Birth Of Consciousness, he also said, “…it is such that you don’t go to church on Sunday; you go to church in life.” This posting isn’t here to give you direction, it’s a helpful clue to let you know that you have this. You can do this, and you have every right to make any number of happy accidents or mistakes or triumphs or epiphanies along the way.

They say it’s the journey not the destination that is important, and we’re saying yes this is true, but also, every journey is the destination.

When some people retire and stop journeying we notice their soul retracting from this life cycle. It is when the journey ends that the destination can no longer be reached. In Chapter 19 “Deep Water,” we say;  Responsibility is that age-old ability to learn and grow from our “mistakes,” which are not mistakes if tools for growth.

Make them but learn from them. Making them provides opportunities, and when you don’t take advantage of those opportunities you are made to relive them. It isn’t a failing grade, what it means is we have faith in you, and we love and support you to do what you have yet to find on your own -therefore, try it again. Whether you find courage, or brilliance, self love or purpose, or all the above, we believe in you.
