We face many obstacles when we set goals for ourselves. The passage takes us into storms, rough seas, and demon doubt sends messages, advocating we abort the mission. Stepping into the wilderness demands courage and confronting the unknown. The enormity of the task can make succeeding feel impossible.
Forward progress requires trust and the ability to put one foot in front of the other. We advance step by step, meeting each obstacle as we encounter them. We solve the first problem and move to the next. The succession of dilemmas continues in a steady stream. They are the test, the price of admission. If our desire is strong enough, no danger can keep us from following the path and attaining our goal.
What perceived dangers are keeping you ashore?

The only reason I am still on the shore, is I have no boat. Given a boat, I would be long gone…
Metaphorically speaking, of course!

Haha, So perhaps it is time to build a boat, or a bridge, or maybe learn how to swim? Metaphorically speaking, of course. I hope you find your way my friend. 🙂❤
