Calm Seas Never Made a Good Sailor
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life
We say we want growth, but we pray for smooth sailing. That’s like asking to be fitter without the exercise.
The truth is, calm waters don’t teach you much. Rough seas do.
-> They test your strength.
-> They reveal your capabilities.
-> They build your resilience, one crashing wave at a time.
Yet most of us still resist the storm. Why? Because of our perspective.
-> We see struggle as a sign that something is wrong.
-> We label setbacks as failure.
-> We equate ease with peace, and effort with suffering.
But what if we saw it differently? What if we changed our perspective?
Like a bodybuilder sees the burn. Like a sailor sees the storm. Like a climber sees the incline.
What if we could see the storms as opportunities for growth?

Reset: Change Your Perspective
The hardship is the training into being the best version of yoruself. The resistance is the growth into who you are capable of being.
What you’re navigating now might feel hard, but it’s forging the next version of you.
But only if you reset your compass—your perspective.
So don’t pray for calm seas. Pray for the strength to steer through them.
That’s how you become the person your future self will thank.
