\"Bandana-in-Mexico-650\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s us, just a couple years into our marriage, on one of our extended trips into deep Mexico. I was blessed to have such an adventurous boat-mate. Still am.<\/h6>\n

You’re in a sailboat and you’re out on the water. Here’s your question: Are you headed for safety or adventure? It’s a small metaphor that could have significant implications.<\/p>\n

The way you answer that questions has a lot to say about you.<\/p>\n

Of course, it may have a lot to say about your present situation too.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a hole in your boat, you’ve probably got all the adventure you need right now. It doesn’t matter where your boat is going . . . as long as it’s not DOWN. Fixing that hole is all that matters.<\/p>\n

But given that there’s no hole, that the wind is steady, that you’ve got provisions enough for the while, where are you going? Back to the harbor, or something new?<\/p>\n

It’s just a\u00a0useful\u00a0question to ask ourselves from time to time.<\/p>\n
