What Is The Wake
Let us say you are driving a boat and there is a wave left
behind the boat, which is what we call a wake. Now what is this
wake from? The boat of course but the wake is no more the boat
than a gold fish is a shark. The wake cannot control you unless
you let it.
The wake is behind the boat and has nothing to do with who is
driving the boat. Then why do people spend all there time
looking back to see the waves of life but what they forget is
that the wake is no longer a part of them it is just that they
think the wake is who is driving the boat, it's not anymore than
the gold fish is a shark.
Why do some people insist to stay in the wake of the past
instead of driving the boat to get to where it is going. Why
look back and ruin the time you have left by saying I should
have done this and I should have done that. Well guess what the
past is the wake it is not who you are and you can forget about
this controlling your life, as the wake is not who you are, Did
you know that when the wake is all clamed down there is not even
a ripple, smooth clam no waves in sight, what does this mean to
you? Simple you are not the wake ands when time passes there is
not even a ripple and it can't effect your boat so there is no
use to look back as all the wake is gone and that is just where
you want it to be.
Why would we let the wake, past events and even some events
that are not even happing yet control us? Why would you let the
wake control your boat? It's like this people, have been trained
and persuaded to think constantly that there boat needs a wake
and they even are told that the wake is necessary to drive the
boat. Little do these people know that the wake has nothing to
do with them and it's time to stand up and let them know that
they are no longer going to be controlled by the past, the wake.
That from that day forward you won't look back unless it is
necessary to the driving of the boat and even then, you are not
going to look back from the boat into the wake. What you are
going to do is recall a memory trace and how it made you feel or
not feel, but you will not own the memory trace you will use it
for it's intended use and then let it go knowing that it has
nothing to do with the driving of the boat
Now understand it will be a struggle to understand that you are
not the wake, but the person driving the boat. This will take
time and practice and ever time you look back to see what is
happing in the wake you need to stop and remind yourself you are
driving the boat and what is behind you is the past and it
doesn't own you. Learn the lesson that you were supposed to
learn and then the wake will become a flat piece of water and
you will wonder how and why you ever let the wake control your
life, when all it was the nervousness about the future and
worrying about the past. Please know that you have only the
moment that God has given you and that is the only moment you
are ever promised, so forget about the wake and live your life
(Drive Your Boat), like it was meant to be driven.
