Lessons from Castaway

 The character Tom Hanks played in Castaway demonstrates an important lesson I'm slowly grasping.  Timing.  No matter how hard Tom and his buddy Wilson tried to flee, it wasn't going to happen until the conditions were favorable.

How many times in your life have you tried to force something before the winds changed in your favor?  I'm with you.  I know all about this.  I have a hint.  Try reaching out to the Creator of the universe for help.  Learn patience.  Let the fruit of your labor ripen before you delight in your harvest.  Plant seeds and wait.  Use your time on the island to improve your skills.  Have a great day.
