Was chatting with one of my group-home boys the other day while cruising around town and as we drove by the local aquatic center we saw several people swimming in the pool. He then asked, “How deep is the water there?” Before I could answer the question this thought suddenly popped into my mind and I found myself making the following statement, “You can’t swim, huh?” “Noooo… No one’s ever taught me how to swim.” he said timidly.

As a result of this casual conversation, it got me to thinking about how this represents a similar parallel in life. Those of us who have developed the confidence to overcome our challenges and adversity in life no longer ask “how did this happen” or “why me”. We just say “Let’s Get it DONE!” “Let’s Push Past the Pain!” “Come-on Let’s GOOOO!” They realize that it doesn’t matter how deep it is, what we want is on the other side of fear and adversity so let’s jump in and swim-on over.

I want to take this opportunity to encourage those who have not yet learned how to swim to find you a mentor or life coach that can teach you some techniques to build your confidence level to get you from point “A” to where you want to “B” in life so you can “C” your way past “D, F & G” and Make it GREAT!
