Metaphor for Life..... Life is a beautiful painting......

Ocean

Top of ocean, beauty, colors, air, sky, sunshine, land, joyful

Bottom of ocean- darkness, muck, can’t see the sunlight, despair

It’s all there and more....

You can choose to focus on everything at the bottom and dwell at the bottom and be miserable.....at the ocean of life....or put your focus above that and swim, float, surf the waves, or dwell on the shore and breathe in the air and sunshine and be happy.

It’s all there and more.....

Negative....positive.....it’s all there.... You can choose where you want to dwell....

If you find your focus is on the bottom and the misery you’re in that your there, move your focus away from being at the bottom....redirect your focus to swim to the top.....focus on and look again at what is good in the painting....what you want to see in your ocean.... (your life view)

It’s all there.....

And when you are truly doing all that, and still can’t seem to reach land or float or swim or surf securely....pray.

Pray.

Pray.

Pray for help to swim. Pray to reach the shore. Pray to dwell in the sunlight. Turn to loved ones.

At the top there will still be storms at times. Pray. Stay thankful and remind yourself of all the beauty around you and keep your focus on the top, of securely swimming and the secure shore...

When you get knocked off the surfboard, pick yourself up, and keep trying to surf. When you grow tired swimming keep trying, turn to loved ones, use a life jacket if necessary, seek land, and when you can’t find your footing, pray. Pray to be on solid foundation. Pray even when you are on solid foundation.

The key is not to live your life focusing on and lamenting the misery of the bottom....the key is in putting your focus and hope and attitude and mindset and prayer in the direction of light.....of joy....sunshine.....peace.
