Catch the Wind

Unexpected troubles might disturb your pace. The more stable your life is, external pressure might have a bigger influence for it.
However, if a stability of your life brings you a sense of imprisonment to you, you would better catch the wind and take opportunity of it to break mannerism.
Staying where you are is not necessary the safest choice. You always bear a risk of being staggered by unpredictable factors. No matter if what's visible now is favorable or not, you would better move from there.
If you set up your sail, you would advance front, back, or aside. Even if the direction was not the best, you can control a sail and a rudder.
