Still waters run deep
Most of us know that salmon live for the day they return to where they originated. To do that they must swim against the current, encounter trials and tribulations. Those that make it back, procreate then die. I don’t know about you but part of that scenario does not sound that great to me. Of course there is a big difference between being a fish and a human, but the idea of going through life struggling and going against the flow of the universe seems futile. Perhaps this is one of lives big lessons.
Think about your life for a moment. Have there been times when you pushed to hard in relationships, business, or matters of the heart. What happened. Did things turn out the way you wanted? And, have there been in times in your life when you did not resist what life was giving you and just accepted it. What was the result? Did you experience stress, anxiety, rejection, feelings of abandonment, not being worthy, or did you achieve your goal, solve a problem, communicate effectively, or be there for a friend?
Life has a way of teaching us that what we resist persists. Accepting a life circumstance or situation allows you to deal with it in the now, and not add it to the emotional baggage of your past or future. When we do this are going with the flow of life and living with love and peace.
