Yesterday and today was one of those days when I just felt like I might drown. I think we’ve all had those days… down, depressed and wondering what to do.

I imagine that firefighter or Coast Guard service member trying to save someone’s life and having to fight not only the current or freezing water but also that person that is so desperate to live that they endanger the lives of a potential savior.

So, when you are down and feel like you’re drowning, just make sure you have arm floaties. You might get scared but you’ll always know that you have protection and security no matter what life brings you.

Arm floaties rule. Unless you have a life preserver… those are better (but less portable.) Just keep your head above water and keep swimming. Eventually, you’ll hit solid ground and feel much better.

Too many people try to be the star of the game, the one in the spotlight, the one that everyone can’t wait to see play. Not everyone really wants that, however. Some people have found their happiness by helping others achieve their goals without looking for recognition for themselves. Their happiness comes from watching others succeed and quietly knowing that they helped them achieve that.

That’s the path I chose a long time ago. I’ve helped many people in my career. Some have taken my help and done nothing with it while others have taken my help and soared like an eagle.

Will you do nothing or soar. Ultimately, it is your choice when you find someone that wants to help you succeed.

I chose to soar… in the way that makes me happy… helping others.
