THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BUILDING A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK
World Championships in Budapest, Anita Alvarez of the USA faced a critical moment when she found herself at the bottom of the pool. Observing the situation from the deck, her coach, Andrea Fuentes, quickly realized that something was amiss. Without hesitation, Andrea dove into the pool fully clothed and pulled Anita to safety.
Anita, in an unconscious state, was unable to make any efforts to save herself. Andrea's prompt action was a decisive factor that prevented a potential tragedy. This incident serves as a powerful reminder that in challenging times, having individuals who actively watch out for us and take immediate action is crucial.
Reflecting on this scenario, it prompts us to consider who plays the role of a vigilant supporter in our lives. In moments when we feel overwhelmed or incapable, who are the people that would notice, seek us out, and extend a helping hand to bring us back to the surface?
Conversely, can others count on us to be that vigilant and supportive presence? Are we willing to dive in and offer assistance when they find themselves struggling in the turbulent waters of life, depleted of strength and resilience?
This story underscores the significance of building a supportive network and being a reliable source of aid for those around us when they face challenges beyond their capacity to navigate alone.
