DO NOT FEAR THE SASTRUGI OF LIFE
Although sastrugi may be unpleasant, you should never fear it. People who are afraid of sastrugi are afraid of life.
The Life Long Disoriented believe the purpose of life is to avoid all sastrugi. They have gotten things backwards.
Sastrugi happens because you are making a life. If you don’t have sastrugi in your life, it’s because you aren’t going anywhere or doing anything.
I have had a life full of sastrugi. Every challenge and every adventure was full of it. If you took all of the sastrugi out of my life, I would never have gone anywhere, and I would never have done anything.
I would never have gotten married. I would never have had children. I would never have performed ophthalmic surgery. I would never have driven my Land Rovers in the deserts of Arabia or the outback of Australia. I would never have sailed around the world on my sailboat. I would never have worked in Panama, Puerto Rico, Liberia, Kenya, or Saudi Arabia. I would have missed all of the great adventures of my life.
If you don’t have sastrugi in your life, you’re not taking large enough risks, and you’re not moving in the direction of your dreams.
Sastrugi happens to everyone, and if you want to have an extraordinary life, you must become a master at handling hard and soft sastrugi. When sastrugi happens, you must keep on keeping on. You must never quit, because you’re on the way to your dreams.
