Good for her!
The woman can do pretty much anything and everything, except for one: she can’t swim!
Oprah has recently revealed that she’s fulfilling a lifelong dream by taking swimming lessons.
She admits to having a fear of water, but says that learning how to swim has been a mission of hers ever since she put it on her vision board. She says:
“Started out the week taking swimming lessons. Moving beyond my amateur doggy paddle. Learned the breast stroke today.
Over a year ago I pulled a picture from O mag of a woman gliding through water. It was such a striking image of freedom and possibility I put it on my vision board (which I’ve still not completed). Today when I finished my swimming lesson I passed the vision board lying on the table where it’s been since 2009. I had an aha moment. I had just become that woman, gliding through the water!
This I’ve known forever is the great metaphor of life. Move with the flow. Don’t fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don’t try to carry it. Sometimes we just have to be reminded. A swim lesson did it for me.”
Going with the flow is sage advice and is something we all should keep in mind on a day-to-day basis.
Great job, O, on going out there and getting your feet wet, literally and figuratively! Keep up the good werq!
