You have to paddle your own canoe.
"As one goes through life, one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move."- Katherine Hepburn.

Row your boat, gently down the stream and then you break out in a merry song that makes the journey worth taking.
The duty to get from one part of the stream to the other day (in the right direction) is that of he who owns the canoe. If you don't paddle, you will be lost in translation.
To move forward in life, you must make an effort to move from point A to point B.
Having a leg that is strong and long or a vehicle that can accelerate from zero to 60 in 10 seconds will of no use if you don't put it to use.
The canoe serves as your platform of movement from point A to point B and it can only be possible when you are making an effort to paddle it towards the direction of your choosing.
You must learn to move when you are up and about and never stop focusing on the goal at hand.
The process of moving is an art and you must be hungry enough to never stop at the lowest point of your life.
The stick to paddle is yours to handle and utilize effectively because, the streams of life will never make provisions for you to drift to your destination. Drifting is not an indication that you will get to your desired destination, but it is an indication that, you will get somewhere and probably lost.
Hold the reigns of your destiny and channel the energy you have inside for the right journey.
Accelerate positively towards the finish line and do not get lazy by allowing the current dictate where you should be. Use the flow of the river to your benefit.
The daily occurrences of life is enough to show you that, you need to be the master of your life. Plan and live it the way you want to see it.
One thing about paddling is that it gives direction to the canoe. Though the canoe can still float on water, the paddles give it a determined course. As such,if we must reach our destination, its not gonna be a game of folding hands. The paddles must be use to create a path in the waves.
Great inspiration brother. Thanks.
Thanks as always for helping with the words. You are responsible for where your canoe sails to.
Paddle your way through the perceived difficulties and you will have found a way to winning.
Stay awesome!
