I took my 3 younger daughters to the wave pools today. If you go to where the most activity is you float there over your head waiting for the waves to start. You then have several minutes of being plunged under the water with brief opportunities to breathe as the wave recedes.

I am a total water baby so I love it, but some people move away as fast as they can.

As I pondered this I was struck by how much like the wave pool is like an investing journey.

Some people, like me, jump in over our heads and enjoy the ride, knowing we will only be able to breathe every now and again. However we also know that we can swim and that the waves will end.

Some people are so afraid of the unknown nature of the waves though that they race for the shallows. Some of them are oblivious to the fact that they are missing out on something exciting but many sit there watching and their faces belie the fact that they would love to be in those waves. Fear or lack of ability keep them out.

I was thinking that I will never get a second chance to see my kids grow up so I try and create memories that they will take with them into adulthood. Same with PI. You may well look back in 20 years and go “I wish I’d” or “If only I’d”.

You only have one life to live and no amount of encouragement from myself or others who love the waves will change a thing for you unless one day you
A: decide to go and get some swimming lessons and
B: Stay in the pool when the waves come.

I trust you have a wet and wavy break over next few days.
