How to avoid getting blown off course

Let's say I'm a sailboat on a course for the Greek isles. During the journey, I'm confronted with storms and a multitude of distractions. Perhaps my passengers want to stop here or there, or change directions entirely. Perhaps none of them even agrees about the final destination! What then?

It's impossible to be all things to all people. It's impossible to avoid all conflict. What's important is that you value yourself, instead of bowing to the whims and wishes of a diverse world. Keep sight of what is right and true. Conflict can lead to growth. That way you won't get blown off course. But it's your course. so if you want to set sail in a different direction, that's fine too...as long as it is right and true.

Just remember to respect life in the process.
