What Sinks Your Boat?
This week’s Note from the boat is going to be slightly different as it’s not something I have experienced and believe me I am very grateful for that. It is related to a sinking boat.
Boat is a great metaphor for everyday life. You might think why do we need a metaphor for life when we are living it? I totally agree however metaphors can often highlight how we are living, how we deal with difficult situations etc. When you step into a metaphor you begin to realize that certain decisions are a recipe for disaster and yet in everyday life you carry on with those decisions.
I’m sure that this quote by an unknown author will sum it up for you.
“Boats don't sink because of the water around them; boats sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.”
What metaphors do you use and are they helpful?
