Lifesavers

As the world gets busier and more complex it can get more stressful as we navigate through our own life choices and support those of others who we love and care for. On a recent visit with family to Rainbow Bay in NSW I reflected on the role of Lifesavers. They watch over us making sure we don't get into trouble if we get in out of our depth, get caught in a rip or encounter sharks. Unless it is really dangerous they don't keep us out of the water. Instead they keep assessing the risk whilst letting  us enjoy the experience. It seems to me we can juggle a lot more stress and risk when we have our lifesavers around us. Who are they in your life? Have you people who will help you be brave,  go in the water but help you if you get in too deep? In the last month I have realised I am strong and brave because I have many friends and family who are my lifesavers. They literally save me from myself when I can't see the danger I am getting into by stretching myself too far or taking on too many of others responsibilities. I am really grateful that so many people care about me allowing me to care for others and try to help make a difference in our world. Our lifesavers might not always be as visible in red and yellow so look for them and once in a while thank them for the role they play for you
