On flows and tides

We go against the tide when we try to fight reality, and resist change. Change is going to happen, whether you like it or not. Struggling against the changes life brings is not going to achieve anything but frustration and stress.

Going with the flow enables us to become fluid and flexible. Taking on a free-flowing attitude allows us to be like water. Water is the most powerful substance, able to wear away the hardest of obstacles and to pass through seemingly impassable places.

This doesn't mean that you have to allow yourself to be swept in directions that are not in line with your goals and desires. It is just not smart or productive to try and row your little raft against the strong current of life. That is a sure way to get shipwrecked!

When you are swimming in relatively calm waters, there are many choices you can take without fighting the natural flow of the universe. And at every turn of the tide offers us opportunities for learning, growth, and adventure, so go with the flow and enjoy!
