Sink or Swim

There comes a time when you are no longer under leadership and aren’t guided with what to do. At that time you have to decide whether or not to sink or swim.
Swimming is not the easiest thing to do because it takes more of your time, energy, and sanity. You are put in tough situations and have to think quickly. You must lead, fight, and work harder than you have before. Your burden is greater because people other than yourself are depending on you. But you must earn their trust and respect. You are held at a higher standard and are twice as responsible. But you have the chance to teach others to swim as well!
Sinking isn’t all daisies either. You are forced to see everyone else sink as well; a puddle of death slowly embracing you. A straight identifier of a sinker is they may try to swim but give up to easily resulting back to where they were before. Your burden is just yourself and no other. There is no responsibility only free-will.  It is hard to mask yourself as a swimmer when your sinking; it is evident to everyone around. It is an easy road to certain death for all, because a sinker can only teach others how to sink.
The swimmers need to arise from the crowd and begin to take charge, teaching others to swim, and pulling up those that are drowning. If not then we’re all sinking.
Will you choose to sink, or swim…
