A Sinking Boat

Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats. ~Voltaire

Call it strange or weird, but I've always had a fascination with capsized boats. They are everywhere in Florida!

Each time I see one, I take a picture and wonder...

I wonder about it's story, the people who owned it, what adventures it had been on before all was lost.

I once read up a little on dream interpretations.

According to one particular source of info, to dream of a boat capsizing represents

a failed attempt to navigate or get through a negative situation
feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty or problems
an attempt to deal with an issue or get through a difficulty

Can't say I have ever recall dreaming about a capsized boat, but the moment I saw this sunken boat on the roadside last night, my thoughts automatically shifted to a slide deck of several overwhelming problems I've navigated in life.

Funny how the brain does that, huh?

Then I reminded myself that I am more than the stories my mind wants to conjure up.

We all have heavy responsibilities to carry, but they WON'T DEFINE us if we DON'T let them!

While a capsized boat may be eerie, scary and uncanny, I see the strength that is implied by the fact that it is STILL HERE!

It's been trough a lot, but it's still visible.

Still showing up!

Part of maintaining our own mental well-being means coming to terms with things that go awry in our lives and being 100% confident the there is a reason for everything we go through.

My personal belief is that God has a plan 🙏.

Having the courage to step outside the drama life throws at us can often mean the difference between a stressful life, business, experience, or relationship and an EMPOWERING one.

🙋‍♀️I'll admit it!

I often found myself stuck in the spiral of doom without a plan for how to R.I.S.E. above the gloom, negativity and cynicism.

It took me a LONG time and some DEEP self-exploration to realize that the *roles* I played in life were keeping me stuck in the drama.

I shared some insight on the roles we play in life this past Friday.

If you are a member of my FB Community, you can watch the replay HERE.

Roles or patterns of behavior that facilitate repeated OVERWHELM are an exhausting way to go through life.

Patterns of behavior that foster new avenues of thought and expand your ability to face life's uncertainties with courage, clarity and calm are empowering!
