Swim or Drown!
“You don’t drown by falling into water. You only drown if you stay there.”
Meaning of the Quote:
If you happen to fall into water, you need to keep your head above water and start swimming. You can not just stay there and do nothing, this will result in your drowning. Therefore, you must find a way to make it safely through the water - so swimming should be your only option.
Discussion of the Quote:
The falling into water in the quote is symbolic of your life circumstances that you fall into. It is not your problems that defeat you but rather it is your inability to find effective solutions for them. When you stay in the water without doing anything, then you will drown. Therefore, you have to swim and keep your head above the water to make it through safely. You should not focus on your circumstances but rather find solutions to get out of those circumstances.
Final Thoughts:
You should not get caught in the trap of focusing on your life circumstances. If you begin to think that you are defeated by them, then you will be. Therefore, when you fall into water, you can not stay there in the water, you will drown if you do nothing. So, you have to take action with persistence, positive attitude, hard work, and brilliant ideas, you can come out of the water dripping wet but victorious.
I appreciate your time and your comments.

Absolutely right. Keep moving and look for land. Sometimes, people giving a helping hand to keep you a float helps...

Hi Nichola,
I find your post interesting.
Only those who “have greatness trusted upon them”, ‘may’ not be in the water. But the rest of us were born already thrown into the water. It is the way of life. So ‘swim or sink’, should have started from the second conception took place.
Don’t you wonder why many or almost all of us come into this realization late in life? Personally, the only plausible answer is that it is also the way it is meant to be. Or do you have a better explanation?
Those who started right from the beginning focusing rather on the solution of the ever present life problems come out ahead.
So I agree with you 100% and in addition, we should realize, no matter our life’s pursuits, we are already in the water and should swim.
Thanks.
