Swimming with the tide

For so long I've just taken the easy path and swum with the tide, not fighting nor caring but just going with the flow. I've recently started pushing back and feel the invigoration of the pressure wave trying to push me over but unsuccessfully. It's unrelenting force once unbearable is now a cause for celebration as I exceed my own expectations and win the daily battles. Getting things done and maintaining the momentum is the key. Whether it's home improvements, buying boats, or simply having food on the table the urge to sit back and let life happen to you must be resisted and you be in control. Yes I'm a control freak as has previously been discussed but this is different. This is being decisive, knowing not only what you want but also what you need out of life and working towards achieving it. I've just been dumb lucky until now. Fate isn't going to steer me for the next bit but shall be a spectator as I flourish and grow by my own hand and not just in tow of others.
