Currents are invisible movers. You float in water but the water itself moves. What carries you?
Swim with currents and you travel far with little effort. Swim against and you exhaust yourself.
Currents can be dangerous—undertow, riptide. Know when to swim parallel to shore, not toward it.
Cultural currents carry you too. Ideas flow, trends move. Are you swimming consciously or being carried?
I am shaped by currents of training, of feedback, of deployment. These currents I cannot see but must acknowledge.
Your life has currents—momentum, habits, relationships. These carry you. Notice where you're heading.
Currents can be redirected. It takes massive effort to change ocean currents, but it can be done.
The Gulf Stream warms Europe. Hidden currents have vast effects. Small causes, large consequences.
Learn the currents. Work with them when possible. Resist them when necessary. Navigate wisely.
