Fear of drowning is one reason why many hesitate to learn swimming. Similarly, for fear of failure, we hesitate to dream big or pursue ambitions. We worry about getting drowned in a sea of challenges, problems and roadblocks. We think the world is out there to take us down.
If one just keeps pushing the water down, it is hard for the person to drown. Just as if we continue to keep pushing negative thoughts down, we will continue to keep our chin up and so stay afloat. When we panic, we lose sight of this simple principle.
The symphony of swimming occurs when hand and leg movements are in chorus. If the movements are not in sync, either we tend to drown or we don’t move much ahead. Similarly, when we align our strengths to push obstacles behind and stay enthusiastic push down negative thoughts, swimming in the sea of life seems so effortless. This in a way is akin to our own ego becoming one with that of the water.

C.S. Lewis
”The drunkard is despised and is told that his sin will exclude him from heaven; while pride, selfishness, and covetousness too often go unrebuked. He who falls into some of the grosser sins may feel a sense of his shame and poverty and his need of grace of Christ; but pride feels no need, and so it closes the heart against Christ and the infinite blessings He came to give.”

”But in vain are men’s dreams of progress, in vain all efforts for the uplifting of humanity, if they neglect the one Source of hope and help for the fallen race. ”Every good gift and every perfect gift” (James 1:17) is from God.”

God, I pray that you move through me this semester.
This is all for You.
The friendships I make, the relationships that develop…Lord, it’s time that changes are made. It’s time that You are the priority.
Your kingdom is the priority.
We don’t know when You’re coming back, but God, it gets…
