When you think of life and work as cement, you may get fixated, weighted down, or believe things are immovable.
When you think of life and work as a canal, you may see how things can flow, how you can rise above, and see change as movement.
The uniqueness and uncertainty of moments not only call for someone's wisdom, but also their adaptability. Seizing the moment is not about forcing what "should be" but rather, becoming keenly aware of what is happening and acting with intention (and accountability).
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." ~Heraclitus
