On Rowing Your Boat

As a child did you sing, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat?" Dr. Lloyd Thomas suggests we revisit the adult version.

"Row, row, row": Persist in the effort to move forward in your life.
"Fail forward": See life as your boat which moves you ahead as you are, keeping you afloat and safe in this very insecure world.
Do you enjoy being you? Do you value your uniqueness?
Let go of the struggle occasionally, and go "down the stream" . . . gently.
"Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily": focus on the joy of being alive.

EXTRA: “Your attitude, your outlook, your commitments, your thoughts and your actions are all choices---choices that can make a tremendous difference in the way your life proceeds.” Ralph Marston, Jr.
