Catch a Wave!!!!!!!

Catch A Wave

Have you ever sat on the beach and watched other people surf?  You are sitting in the warm sunshine on the soft sand enjoying the cool breeze in your face and your biggest worry is did you put on enough sunscreen. There are times to do that.  We need to take the time to refresh and recharge to handle the pace at which we work.  However we can only sit there so long when it is time to get back out and do what we can do.

Right now the surf is up.  In fact it is a rip tide of tremendous proportions.  Everyone wants to stay on the beach and be safe...but is it really the best place to be.  After all if you are a surfer it is the big waves you are interested in.

There is no thrill compared to dropping down the face of a huge wave, staying on the board to the bottom, accelerating to speeds yet unfelt, and then leaning into the wave to go faster.  You hear the roar of the wave behind you and it sounds like a thousand yards of tearing silk.  You get low on your board and the wave encircles you into it’s womb and you realize again why you love to surf.

Those on the beach will never feel what you feel.  They will watch you and wonder at how you can do what you do.  Just like your clients are watching you now.  They are hoping you are out there finding the right wave and making the right moves.  It is times like these that will test us and we will become better advisors for it.
