Hello and welcome.
Let's consider
a classic Latin proverb as we're moving towards the end of the month. Though it might seem 'out of season' for this time of year, the gist of it is uself any time:
"When there's no wind, row."
This is a great way to create a course correction when we don't seem to have a path forward, when we're stalled or even stopped in our process.
So often, we can get hung up on a particular way, method or direction that when it's not clear sailing, as it were, we're stumped by the next move.
Think about it. Staying with the metaphor, if we were in a boat in the middle of a body of water and
there was no wind to power us, would we really just sit there hoping and waiting for some kind of unexpected intervention? I sense not.
And while we're in the middle of said body of water, let's also remember that rowing is just one of many options we might exercise: we could
drift for a while, or take a different tack to pick up wind, or do nothing and trust that the wind will pick up on its own, or call for help—just to name a few.
The point is to navigate the moment that's been presented in a way that serves us best.
Do you "Row" (2:24) when it's called for?
