There are many kinds of waves that flow in and come crashing on your life. “That’s life,” so they say.
And life is riddled with waves — these are tests. For only in life’s challenges will we find progress. You will realize the true meaning of these challenges as you grow older.

What is Your Wave in Life and How to Flow with It?
The last few weeks have been interesting. Finally, 2020 has begun to show signs that it is a pretty amazing year!
And I’m not sure if this is because of the numerical value of 2020, that we are able to see clearly and that it will be one of those years that bring a lot of joy. You may not agree with me, but I believe that 2020 is a great year for business — and for waves, as I like to call them.
In life, we are sent waves to ride on. We are supposed to wait for these waves to come, and when they arrive, we ride on them and go with the flow.
I know what you are thinking, “What the heck is Dean talking about?”
One of the books that my daughter and I are reading just about every night is Perelandra by C.S. Lewis. It is the second book of C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy and, by far, my favorite in the series.
The second book talks about trust. Trust that whatever waves God sends our way, they are sent for a reason. And that God would never send us anything that is meant to harm us.
Make the Most Out of the Wave You are On
If you stop, look around and take stock of where you were, and where you are now. You’ll notice that there are a lot of waves that you’ve ridden. And most Probably, there are a lot of waves that you refused to ride.
The thing is, these waves were sent especially for you to ride on. It is such a wasted opportunity to refuse the flow of blessings given to you. These waves were meant for you to flow through.
I used to get frustrated, flustered, and angry that my business was not growing faster. And then, I started complaining and comparing myself to other businesses.
My mistake was forgetting about the blessings I already have! I have a business that lets me work anytime, anywhere. This business is already thriving!
My wave is spending more time with family or building a cat house on our acreage. Do I refuse to flow on that wave and instead, do payroll or hiring more staff for my business? No. I trust and ride the wave sent especially for me.
Cherish the Flow of the Moment
If you look closely in life, the lands “swim” here because God sends people waves. And although there is a wave meant for you, it is you who have the power to choose whether you want to ride them or not. People are designed to have free will, we are not robots. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
If you have ever done any time of boogie boarding or surfing, then you know that you cannot force waves. You can catch them but you cannot make them. At least in natural bodies of water, you cannot make them. And it is you who make the choice whether to ride the wave or refuse it.
So, what wave is being sent to you right now? Are they waves in your family or business? I dare you to catch that wave and start riding or flowing with it.
Now, it may seem completely foreign that my wave is building a cat house. But, it’s what I am being called to do. So, I am doing it and I am having great results.
What is the wave that is being sent to you right now? I challenge you to catch that wave and ride it. Flow with it.
Conclusion
Have you figured your wave — what you are called to do? Are you flowing with the wave sent especially for you?
Trust that God sends nothing but good things for you and ride the waves of life. I promise you will see great results.
