Just Keep Swimming

Sitting on my deck sipping cold drinks and soaking up some sun, my roommate and I exchange stories. Somewhere between talks about the future, and reveling in the past, we talk about sharks. Sharks, she said, die if they keep stagnant.

My ears perk up when I heard this random fact. What in interesting concept for a life mantra. If we do not keep moving we risk the consequences. Sometimes, the direction isn't the most important part--but the fact that we are consciously making moves. Most of the time, wallowing in our current situations and remaining stagnant is the most dangerous thing we can do.
