Marsha Petrie Sue enjoying Corpus Christi, South Padre Island fishing. And of course, once again, she caught the biggest fish! Very windy day on the inland waterways but beautiful fishing with husband Al.

Stop. Think. Learn. Plan. Do.

I’ve learned that fishing is not necessarily a sport of drowning worms. That is why it is important to check the weather report, read the local area fishing information and understand how people are catching fish.

Why is this so much like life? I believe that if we did our homework, whether shopping for a home, a loan or a phone, we would get much better results. But most people want it now, without much consideration. Their amazing fast track will get them . . . where? And is it what they really want?

So here’s my advice. Stop. Think. Learn. Plan. Do.  The three words in the middle are the most important.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

~Henry David Thoreau

A wise observation, but my favorite is:

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.

~Doug Larson

Cheers, Marsha
