I’ve heard this people use this metaphor in entirely disempowering fashion almost 100% of the time. They say “I feel like my life is like a cork being tossed around in the waves of a storm”. To this I say: Great, FANTASTIC, THAT’s AWESOME! And the looks of horror and astonishment I get in return are pure gems. I then tell them that corks don’t sink, and eventually will make it to shore without any effort of their own. All they have to do is float and let the tide take them to the landfall. Go with the flow and be fearless. Don’t let the sun set on your dreams.
