Sailboat in rough weather

Sailing is challenging. No matter how well you prepare, you can never be entirely certain what the weather will be like. Sometimes the boat heels over sharply and you cut through the water at high speed—an experience that can be challenging or even a little frightening, especially on the open sea. At other times, the wind dies down, and you need a great deal of patience to reach your destination. These, too, are wonderful metaphors for the journey of your life!
