But what if the waters are in fact rough and the sea is bouncing all over the place? What would he do then? Well, a sailor knows you don't get too close to a drifting vessel during a storm, because bad weather in the sea of life can make things unpredictable ... accidents can happen ... vessels can collide, even sink each other and Bang! There goes your chance of getting ur ex back.
So take a tip from a sailor … in a stormy break-up, STAND-OFF! Stay back, hold your ground, leave some safe space between you and your ex. Right now is not the time to try and get ur ex back. Wait until the bad weather has passed.
Once the waters have calmed, what is the sailor's next course of action? He has to somehow get a line across to the other vessel and "reach out to his ex" which means he would throw a rope across the bows of his ex in the hopes that she would pick it up. Then he can tow the boat to the safety of the shore. You see, a sailor knows you have to pull a boat to the shore. You can't push it. Trying to push it ashore will cause damage to both vessels. Same with a relationship. Don't try to push your ex. You have to draw them to you gradually.
But what if the sailor throws the rope but the other ship - his ex - refuses to take up the rope to be pulled in? Well, a sailor who is familiar with the "sea of life" won't panic. He knows all is not lost because he has three things in his favour: the wind, the tide and the currents. He knows that if he uses them correctly and positions his ship in her path, then the "laws of the sea of life" will just cause his ex naturally to drift towards him and back into his arms.
But he also knows that if he uses these laws incorrectly he may also be sunk! A sailor knows that one should avoid sailing into the wind and one should avoid sailing against the tide but if he waits and PLANS his journey then he can sails with the wind and ride the crest of the tide and with God's speed he will soon be home and dry.
So here is the "sailor's trick" to get ur ex back ... stand-off until any storms have passed. Don't battle against the winds and the tides when they are not in your favour but instead wait until they pass. Be patient, bad weather never lasts! Always pull, never push. And remember - trying to get ur ex back without a plan of action is like trying to navigate the high seas without a compass.
Well! He knows that the sea has no mercy. Mistakes at sea mean death. For sure, a sailor would take an assessment of his surroundings, and check the weather conditions. Then, if the sea is not too stormy and there is no typhoon brewing, he would set sail towards this ex of his.
We were like two ships drifting apart on the high sea ... Then came the dark, then came the dawn, and there was my love, in the distance, drifting over the horizon. Had she sailed too far for me to recapture her heart?
Well the major question is: how far can ur ex go before it becomes impossible to get ur ex back? Well, perhaps surprisingly, there is no distance too small or too great. The thing that makes getting ur ex back easy or hard is not how far have they drifted but what is in between you and your ex. In other words, if we use the sailor's example, the question is: What are the weather conditions like between you and your ex - are they choppy, stormy, or calm?
So what would a sailor do before he decided to set sail to retrieve that vessel adrift on the sea of life?
