Remembering Yesterday The Wrong Way

When your bitten by a shark, don’t look at the wound for you could die of shock. The same applies in life. Life is like surfing, going with the flow and learning to balance yourself on a board against different waves that approach you. You’re falling, swimming, tiring yourself out and sometimes enjoying the ride. It’s exhausting and exhilarating simultaneously. That’s life. And suddenly, a shark comes, an unexpected event that throws us off our boards (comfortably lives) and catches us off guard. A new wound, a new problem comes and we are faced with the decision to focus on the wound and risk the potential shock that can distort our perspectives and leave us crippled into depression, or to wait until we get the right help before looking at the wound (situation). When we find the right way to express our feelings, concerns and hurts, it becomes easier and less risky to start looking at the actual wound. A new perspective is gained and the wound no longer had the crippling effect it initially could have bestowed upon us.
