Coach’s Advice When I first read this quote, it really made me smile. It is such a great picture of what life sometimes gives to us. In our grand scheme of things, we set out in our very safe row boat for a quiet day of sun and fishing only to find ourselves falling into the river and learning to swim. Life is nothing like what we originally may have thought. And all of us at one point or another in our lives have found ourselves out of the boat and learning to swim. If you choose to become bitter and resent this change of station in life, you will eventually sink. If you choose to take on the challenge of being in a new place, trust that this is a natural part of the journey, and enjoy the experience, you will learn to swim. It's your choice - sink or swim.

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey
