Today I've thought a lot about going with the flow of life.
Life. We fill our days with routines. We have a rhythm. We establish a flow and we stick to it. A flow so in sync that when it's broken we often find ourselves not knowing what to do. Is this flow bad? Are we holding ourselves back from accomplishing daily miracles because we subconsciously refuse to exit our flow? Is your personal flow keeping you from spontaneous adventure lurking around the corner?
There are two types of rolling with the flow. 1) You are subconsciously moving along your life in a routine. Unaware that you, in fact, are even in a flow. This flow can be positive or negative, and can affect you either way. 2) You make a conscious choice to have a positive attitude when handling daily life hurdles. It's like when someone will say to you "Just go with the flow, man."
Today (for me) was a good lesson in going with the flow with a smile on my face. As we all know, this Winter 2014 mess has brought many hurdles for people with pre-existing plans. My mother, brother and I were supposed to go up to New York to visit my nana and papa for the weekend on Friday afternoon. Due to weather conditions I came home from school to find out that instead of Friday we were now to leave Wednesday evening! Well this was great news to me! I'm just enjoying rolling with the flow of this spontaneous trip. Then we hear word that our train had been cancelled, and we had no choice but to take a train in less than 24 hours.
Having not even started packing I could look at this either two ways. 1) I could stress and panic about not being ready in time to leave, or 2) I could make a choice to go with the flow and trust spirit that everything will be ready in time. I chose option 2.
No one can control the weather and sometimes life throws you minor hiccups. Things can change in an instant. Try to be aware of your flow. You have the choice in the way you roll with life.
Just something to think about
