Ski Kayak
Copyright (c) 2009 Meredith Liepelt
I recently spent the weekend at a lake in Michigan, with my family. We had a great time gap between the paddle boat, pontoon rides, jet skis, kayaks and sandbar. I had a great time, but since my children are still small, I thought I was constantly getting between their lunches, snacks, applying and reapplying sunscreen, putting their life jackets and outside arbitration and occasionally fight over who had the first big scoop. One afternoon, I decided to take some time for me and went to a solo kayak trip. It was beautiful outside – 80 degrees, beautiful billowing clouds and a slight breeze.
I decided to venture to a part of the lake that I usually do not take my kids. The wind blew lightly and I was paddling against a small stream. As time passed, I found the wind was to collect and I had to start fighting effectively to try to make my destination. Despite being in good shape, I found I was getting tired with that pretty quickly and start to get a little bad, and I said to myself, "only just arrived … get there." As I took a Hardest hit in the water to get the kayak back on track, I realized that I was letting nature get the better of me. My aim in adopting this little adventure was not really to get to that side of the lake. I just wanted to be out for myself and enjoy a new part of the lake. But here he was struggling against the current and trying like crazy to get to my destination, for no particular reason.
At that time, I looked and saw that the wind was trying to take me. I stopped rowing and letting the current kayak for a few seconds. I took a part of the lake had never been before. It was not where I intended to go, but did not fit my idea of see a new part of the lake. I decided to follow the waves instead of fighting them. I ended up being in the kayak for about 45 minutes to explore a different area of the lagoon as had anticipated. I ended up seeing several types of birds and some interesting vegetation. And it was quiet! If I had fought the waves and kept trying to reach my destination, I would have lost all sense of my trip, I was going to go out and explore for myself. The goal was not the target, which was the trip.
I see a parallel between this experience and be an entrepreneur. By building a sustainable business is important to know when to give battle and when to let things develop naturally. Many times we stuck my head and think: "Just getting … just get there." We seldom stop to realize that we can really achieve our goal with a new, Travel better, fresher and more natural to have "magically" appeared. It depends on us as employers to recognize this and decide if we want to or simply the natural way fight to stay on a course that is nonsense.
Sometimes the journey is very different from what we expected. Following our intuition is something that women do particularly well. However, sometimes even more intuitive woman needs a little reminder from Mother Nature about who is really in charge!
