So whenever you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the challenges ahead of you; remember that just like a skilled sailor, you have the ability to navigate the choppy waters of life, adapt to changing conditions and emerge more resilient than ever before. In other words: experience is your greatest asset next to resilience when navigating life’s tumultuous waves of change.

This quote may seem simplistic at first, but when applied to the current challenges any of us have in life it can give a profound amount of comfort. It’s wild how fast 2020 went from the old sense of normalcy to complete confusion and uncertainty. No one would have predicted a year that could have the potential to completely wipe out the connection between those you’re closest to. If your wedding celebration was abruptly interrupted by this year’s events, you were most likely feeling a mix of frustration, overwhelm, sadness, and worry. As we go through life and begin to have the awareness of tough times, a sea (life) is what makes us wise and strong. We begin to understand little by little what life is truly about. We enjoy the moments when the sea is calm, but we don’t live in fear despite knowing that one day it’s going to be rough once more. We trust in our experience and the lessons that life has taught us, knowing that these lessons guide us through to the end. How adorable, nice, thoughtful and utterly fantastic it would be if you gave me something handmade. It would surely be a present I would never forget and keep forever.

Let's look at the quote again ... "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." What does this even mean? If you are out at sea and the water is calm and flat (it's a beautiful sight!) you can really feel the peace, the vast ocean of life before you. The sun is out and shining, it's tranquil and harmonious, and no real need for great skill. You can just sail through and bask in all its glory. There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.” ― Joseph Conrad Life is a good teacher, and one who takes all its lessons seriously are sure to succeed in his life in the long run. Who else can teach you better than an empty wallet and an empty stomach? A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. One who has encountered all the hassles and overcame all of them is sure to lead. The courage to press on regardless – regardless of whether we face calm seas or rough seas, and especially when the market storms howl around us – is the quintessential attribute of the successful investor. John C. Bogle

Have you heard the saying “This too will pass.” All we have to do is look in our Bible and see this phase is true in the Bible with the men and women there. All we have to do is hold on to Christ! Sometimes we ask and we beg for answers and they don't come. One things is for sure. I feel Him in my soul. I trust Him and believe in Him even in my own doubts. I just know it will work out for His good which is my good also ( Romans 8:28). I have seen Him work out all kinds of things that I couldn't see happening. He is my God and I will serve Him the best I can until I go to be with Him or he comes to get me. This quote by American president George Washington is about how you don’t need to let yourself be affected by things that are outside of your control. When bad men band together, the good must band together, or they will perish one by one in a despicable conflict. A skilled sailor feels the wind in his bones.”– This quote from William Arthur Ward perfectly captures the essence of what makes a skilled sailor so proficient at navigating through the waters. They possess an innate ability to read the wind patterns around them and use this knowledge to determine their course, adjust their sails accordingly and maneuver their vessel smoothly.We never had “the talk” about my personal space or how to tell the difference between good and bad touch. And my mother is a psychologist and my father is a professor at a university. So I’m guessing it is not about how educated you are, but how culture shaped your perception. It was like this: “If we do not talk about bad things like abuse, poverty, or human rights violations, we can pretend they don’t exist.” Let me cut to the chase right away: I was molested by a relative from my mother’s side of family at age 7 … and 8 … and 9. Then I found out that it was a game I did not want to play and told him to stop. “Why so late,” you ask? Washing fake fur in a washing machine releases thousands of fibre particles into the water thus they end up entering the ecosystem, into our rivers and ultimately the sea. The fibres break down to small particles and are ingested by fish and other water animals which can cause these animals serious issues. Fish are then eaten by other animals and humans, so the non-biodegradable fake fur particles are inside our bodies potentially causing us harm in the future. This means fake fur is just as bad as plastics for the environment and the planet so what can we do about this? The answer is obvious and it is real fur. A: Skilled sailor quotes often come from sailors who have dedicated their lives to mastering the art of sailing. They offer insights into the skills required to successfully navigate the open sea, while also providing commentary on life itself. These quotes are different from more generalized sailing sayings because they speak directly to the experience of being a skilled sailor. While both types may be inspirational or motivational, skilled sailor quotes carry an additional weight of credibility and relevance that is specific to experienced crew members.

As human beings, we are all on a quest for purpose, meaning and direction in our lives. Our journey is often filled with twists and turns, unexpected detours, and moments of uncertainty. It can be easy to feel lost or adrift when we encounter rough waters in our personal or professional lives. Skilled sailors understand teamwork – Regardless of whether they are racing competitively or simply cruising leisurely, successful sailors must work as a team onboard because one person can’t manage everything alone effectively. We also took all of their design elements and worked with their contracted vendor team from up and down the West Coast, from Los Angeles to Seattle to bring their wedding day to life. Without the dedication, willingness, and professionalism of this vendor team, none of this would have been possible, and to say we are grateful to stand alongside such a strong group of people would be an understatement.But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

To reach a port we must set sail – Sail, not tie at anchor; Sail, not drift.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt He then proceeded to tell me that I had been released from Aberdeen Football Club. At first I could not imagine what he was telling me, I loved football it was my life. One cellphone name to dad, the coaches couldn’t even inform me in individual that I was not good enough. I was absolutely furious, I ran upstairs and got all of my football kits and threw them out of my room. I felt betrayed and instantly needed revenge. There was nothing my parents could say or do to make issues higher, I was so offended I did not wish to communicate to anybody, my future was ruined. Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk.” ― Sir Francis Chichester With this quote, French painter Monet draws attention to how the sea can be incredibly rough, yet still becomes calm again. You could argue it’s a rough seas quote as much as a smooth sea quote.A sailing ship is no democracy; you don’t caucus a crew as to where you’ll go anymore than you inquire when they’d like to shorten sail.” ― Sterling Hayden Inspirational Quotes About Sailing
