18. Paddle Your Own Canoe


So get out your paddle, take a deep breath, smile and get going. And watch the journey unfold.

You are now living the adventure for real, master of your own destiny. You are no longer waiting for someone else to help you out; you are not expecting to be handed something on a plate. You are your own rescue.

Now you understand the phrase: ‘If it is to be, it is up to me.’

It feels good, eh? Doing it yourself. Paddling your very own canoe.

Now it is all about hanging on for the ride!”
