Life always seems to be sweeter when your sails are full. When the wind is at your back and the belly of your sails swells with contentment. But what happens when someone starts blocking your airstream or stealing your wind?!
It happens to all of us at points in our lives. You wake one morning and realize you are living in the sweet spot. You go about your usual buisness with full sails. You are singing and wistleing a happy tune... then the naysayer comes along. It might be a client, loved one, boss, or competitor. People have a tendency to want to see you fail and will block your airstream to do it.
How you respond is a defining moment of your character. If you like living in the sweet spot, you either readjust your sails to further the gap between you and the windthief or plot a new course to deviate away from them. If you have lost your will you might simply allow them to luff your sails, you might reef your sails to let them pass, or worse yet, you might furl your sails and give up the fight.
Why not fast your sails, take a firm grip on the helm, smile wildly, laugh out loud, and sail into the sunset with your heart and sails full! You can do this if you dig deeply into your soul and find that spark that brought you to where you are. Keep your attitude right and believe in yourself. After all, you are the captain of your ship!
