whether we like it or not, we can't stay still in this life simply because being human, we're living in time.

a metaphor to illustrate this is like we're on a boat in an open sea. the wave will take us somewhere whether we like it or not, with or without any effort on our side. we can steer the boat to go to a certain direction, paddle to make it move towards that direction faster, but sometimes the wave is just too strong.

I'm not a sailor, so I don't know anything about sailing, but I suspect that as a sailor, you need to know how to read nature (wind, sky, wave) and even though you can't control nature, you can adjust your action so you can use your knowledge about nature to your advantage.

With life, I think it's very important to realize that we're going somewhere and sometimes things don't go according to our plan, so it is important to learn how to read our circumstance and use that knwldge to adjust our action accordingly in order to drive our life towards the direction where we want to go.
