When a Waves Comes, Go Deep

Posted on the 05 November 2013 by Asoloaffair @a_solo_affair

While browsing one of my favourite blogs, Humans of New York, I came across a quote that literally took my breath away. For the last few months, It seems like I’ve been tumbling around in the core of a big, tumultuous wave. Each time I manage to get my head above the water, it takes me a little longer to catch my breath and gain a sense of direction…. I hope it passes soon.

“If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?”
“When a wave comes, go deep.”
“I think I’m going to need an explanation for that one.”
“There’s three things you can do when life sends a wave at you. You can run from it, but then it’s going to catch up and knock you down. You can also fall back on your ego and try to stand your ground, but then it’s still going to clobber you. Or you can use it as an opportunity to go deep, and transform yourself to match the circumstances. And that’s how you get through the wave.”  – humansofnewyork
