Summary

This quote emphasizes on the importance of adaptability and resilience. It suggests that certain circumstances or situations may be beyond our control, much like the wind's direction. However, instead of being discouraged or helpless, we should focus on making necessary adjustments and embracing flexibility. By metaphorically "adjusting our sails," we can take charge of our own actions and decisions to navigate through life, ensuring that we are always working towards our goals and reaching our desired destination. It underscores the idea that while we cannot control all aspects of our journey, we have the power to shape our own path.
