Lessons from Mama Ocean…
I love the way she shows up so unapologetically herself! She doesn’t care for the waves you wanted today. Some days she's cranky, some days she’s sparkly and playful, others she has an unwavering calm that simply holds you… There will be days the waves carry you like a magic carpet, and others where they crash and rattle you, testing your balance, and reminding you that growth doesn’t come from comfort.
One of the many things Mama Ocean teaches us that surrender is strength. That fighting against the natural flow of the elements, however chaotic, is usually more tiresome than helpful.
Sometimes the smoothest way through is to breathe, soften, and move with the turbulence instead of against it. Every wave — the calm, the chaotic, the unexpected — holds a lesson about trust, patience, resilience, and the beauty of being fully present… That no two waves (or moments in life) are the same, and yes, this too shall pass…
The more waves we ride, the more we realise something much bigger is at play: We develop the courage to rise after a fall (and hopefully laugh along the way), the patience to wait for the right moment, and the wisdom to know that even in the hairy moments, we are exactly where we need to be.
So dance with the waves. Trust the ride. And know that every crash and every lift, is shaping you into the version of you who truly thrives.
