Drifting or Rowing

Imagine you are in a small row boat on a calm lake. You want to get to the other side of that lake. You can sit and drift and hope you get to the place you want to be. You can also row and ensure that you will get to that place. Yes, rowing is harder. Yes, rowing takes effort. Luckily, speed is not important. You can row as slow as you would drift. The important thing is that you are directing your life, rather than letting the forces drift you because that ensures you will get to that place you want to be.
