Dear all,
Last weekend, members of Temple Akiba joined me for a Paddle Boarding excursion in Marina del Rey. (Thank you to Kathryn, our Program Director, for organizing!)
Having never done this before, I listened closely to our instructor who offered key tips for maintaining our balance.
”In short,” she said, “Just keep looking forward.”
(Mind you, in the photo above, I am looking down! It took a few reminders!)
The advice made so much sense. In life, when we look forward, we focus on our goals, we refrain from getting stuck, and we build vision with those around us.
Yes – we will stop now and then to look down and to look back. It’s inevitable (and also necessary). But remembering to look forward will ultimately enable us to realizing our dreams. And all it takes is a moment in time.
With love and Shalom,
