I love this Latin proverb that means “If the wind will not serve, take to the oars.”

Life is never going to be about tailwinds alone, everyone gets to experience one’s share of headwinds in our journey.

There will be challenges, and the need to shift to Plan B.

The most successful people in life are resilient & flexible, able to roll with a punch & come back strong.

Waiting for the situation to align to your needs might not be a suitable approach if you are looking to suceed in life.

Acting on what is required at the moment & not waiting for the circumstances to change, help us thrive in life.

There are many opportunities in life that we miss as they demand things that are out of our comfort zone.
We wait for the wind to push our boat forward. Sometimes we are in luck & wind carries us to a notable distance.
When the wind stops, our progress stops.

If the wind fails, row your way to success & stay blessed forever.
