The Sinking Boat Analogy
Imagine this:
You’re on a boat in the middle of the ocean. 🌊
It’s foggy. You can’t see where you’re going.
Slowly, you realize there are holes in your boat.
Not big ones — just enough that you’re sinking so slowly you hardly notice.
Those holes represent the leaks in your life: the habits, patterns, and boundaries that drain your energy day after day.
🔧 Step 1: Patch the Holes
Patch them — and patch them well — with:
- Systems that make good choices automatic
- Boundaries that protect your energy
- Commitment that holds you steady even on hard days
🪣 Step 2: Get the Water Out
Grab a bucket and dump out the water that’s been collecting.
This represents taking action toward your goals — clearing out the backlog, finishing the tasks you’ve been avoiding, cleaning your mental slate.
🌅 Step 3: Wait for the Fog to Clear
When the fog lifts, that’s your mental clarity.
You can finally see the horizon and look for your North Star — the guiding light that represents your purpose.
⛵ Step 4: Move Forward
Now you can:
- Turn on the motor (motivation) when the wind is still
- Raise the sail (opportunities) when life brings you momentum
Both will push you toward the island on the horizon.
🏝 Step 5: Reach the Island
When you step onto land, that represents the new, transformed you.
And when you find the treasure, that’s your unique gifts and talents — ready to share with the world.
Sharing those gifts brings abundance, fulfillment, and peace — the kind that no storm can take away.
