A river flows through rapids and tranquility, adjusting and adapting to it's environment, changing its direction as needed. Even though the path is winding, it always reaches its destination. The rapids clean out the mucky, heavy sediment that builds up over time, cleaning and aerating the water, making it healthier and allowing the river to continue to flow. The calm stretches allow the river to support life and make steady progress, even when it seems very still.

I believe a river is a good example of success, taking time regularly to assess, evaluate and improve and stirring up changes when needed for a successful, healthy journey to your destination.
