Life's Ocean

Go With the Flow

Ocean waves follow the movement of wind over the water’s surface.

The strength and size of the waves depend on the amount of energy in the wind. In life, you are like the water.

As events arise, you can either resist what is happening or go with the flow.

There are times, of course, when you may need to resist getting caught up in situations that are not good for you.

Other times, however, you can adjust to the changing currents

and allow the course of life to take you where you are meant to be.

What you’ll find is that being flexible is much easier,

and going with the natural flow is a much more enjoyable way to live. (S Finelli)

Activities

Watch the video above: 'What Causes Tides?'

Describe the relationship between the moon, the Earth, and gravity, as it relates to the formation of tides, and describe what causes ocean tides, tidal cycles, and how they change the water level along coastal areas.
