We often talk about “going with the flow”. Why? Because that is what you were created to do!
Think about this. Everything that has been created in nature has a natural flow, and when it operates in that flow there is no struggle.
Think about the whole universe, and not just the earth.
Water does not struggle to flow.
Grass does not struggle to grow.
Wind does not struggle to blow.
Rain does not struggle to fall.
Sun does not struggle to shine.
Earth does not struggle to rotate.
Flowers do not struggle to bloom.
What does this tell us? Struggle is unnatural. Why sentence ourselves to a life of struggle
when it is clearly unnatural?
In short, struggle is a “learned response” that has been taught to us by those who are in a
trance of struggle. This “learned response” has become an unconscious habitual pattern.
We have been programmed by society, by our parents, and by our teachers, that we have to work very hard, that we have to make all kinds of sacrifices, that we have to ‘struggle’, to be successful and financially secure in our lives.
As a result, most people seem to be working as if they are on a hamster wheel, going round and round, but getting nowhere!
Yet, we know that working smart is more important than working hard. Some of the most successful and wealthiest people do not seem to over exert themselves. They work smart, and just go with the flow.
Awareness is the first step to making any change in our lives. If you are aware that struggle is not “normal” and that it is a learned unconscious habitual pattern, you can consciously make the choice not to live your life paddling upstream.
It is not a fact that life is a struggle. This is just a belief, a perception, that we have picked up through subconscious programming. Do NOT buy into that mistaken belief. If you believe in struggle, then rest assured, that’s exactly what you will experience!
Focus your attention on this: nothing you want is upstream.
Everything you want is downstream. This means you do not have to struggle (paddle up stream) to have it. All you need to do is put your boat in the stream and let it
carry you.
In fact, you don’t need to paddle at all.
Even if your boat is pointed in the wrong direction (upstream), as soon as you stop paddling, the stream will turn your boat around without any effort on your part. Then you will be going in the direction where everything you desire takes place, naturally.
It is a simple but powerful metaphor. Give up the struggle once and for all. Let go of the paddles, trust that Source Energy (the universal creative mind that creates and sustains all life in the universe) will guide you downstream to your desire, and start enjoying the trip. It’s a heck of a lot easier!
