Martial arts master Bruce Lee once reflected: “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.”

Water is truly a miracle substance. It’s no surprise that so many of us (myself included) value ocean views when we vacation on the coast! Perhaps it’s an innate survival instinct that brings us a calm when looking out on a majestic body of water.

Actually, there are scientific reasons we are drawn to lakes, rivers, and oceans. Studies have shown that people are 10 percent happier who live near or by a body of water. Researchers from the University of Exeter — in England — found that people who lived within a mile from the sea were 22 percent less likely to experience mental health disorders — such as anxiety and depression. Isn’t that incredible!
