We Are Sailing…

We are sailing, we are sailing, Home again cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters, To be near you, to be free.

– Rod Stewart, “I Am Sailing”

Blogging is like sailing

  • We choose the destination– we define the purpose of our blog
  • We choose the ship– we choose the value we add to readers
  • We choose who we want to sail with– we choose our affiliation

Life is like sailing

  • We choose our destination– we decide what we we want to become
  • We choose our ship– we choose how we want to live our life
  • We choose who we want to sail with– we decide who we want to grow old with

Business/Career is like sailing

  • We choose our destination– We determine how much we want to have
  • We choose our ship– We choose how we want it earned
  • We choose who we want to sail with– We choose who we work for or work with

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free. Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free, Oh Lord…

    I work for two Maine windjammers and have a google alert for sailing…..that is how I found you. I love what you had to say!

    Being a sailing/schooner/windjammer fanatic I would love to reprint/link to this post, with your permission of course.

    Definitely agree! We may encounter strong winds and storms in our lives but we still have control over our destination.
