Deb shares a heartfelt message about the transformative power of sailing and how it can help you navigate the waters of life with courage and confidence.
How is it possible to have life transformation on a sailboat? As a woman sailor, past business owner and professional to a certified Advanced Transformational Life Coach I have the privilege of meeting people from all over the world. I also have learned more about myself, my capabilities, mindset and heart.
Sailing is a sport and there are many ways to learn this sport. For some of us it is in a structure of support for others, a sort of structure, and others just jump in. In my professional opinion I do have a recommendation about this. But whatever way you learn this sport at all ages, and I do mean all ages is doable.
First, you understand the fundamentals of sailing and you begin to see all the various impacts of wind and water. Next, your training and experience have gotten you to that level of unconscious competency. You see what’s coming, and you know what to do to.
The sails are set, perhaps there is some light music playing, the engines are turned off its you, the boat, the wind, and the water! You are sailing.
The silence when you turn off the engines, a jolt goes through your system. It’s a wakeup call from the Universe, saying look around, listen, smell, feel it. As you do the looking, listening, smelling, feeling something changes in me. First, an awareness that this is it! I did this, I got myself to this moment. All the circumstances, situations, and conditions still exist, but in this present moment, I am calm filled with joy, and confidence.
There are brutal tests of condition, circumstance and limitations that can occur out here on the ocean. What and how you have learned and prepared for will assist you navigating each situation. At the end of the day before you close your eyes for the day, there is an opportunity to be grateful for the experience no matter what it was and the growth you experienced that day.
When you look back and compare careers to achieving your sailing dream what brings you the most joy? If you haven’t gotten that answer yet, give yourself the gift of this sailing life living your Ocean Dream. You will have accomplished something that so few do, and you will transform you very being through every channel you are required to navigate. Remember the definition of transformation is: “a complete change in the appearance or character of something or someone, especially so that that thing or person is improved”. You will not be the same person you were after living your Ocean Dream.
