Are you living in the flow of life?

Or are you fighting a raging current? Or perhaps even stuck in a stagnant pool?

Sometimes, we fight too hard to achieve our goals or we slip into inertia purely out of laziness or believing that everything is too difficult.

Often, we place too much pressure on ourselves, trying to conform and keep up with our friends and neighbours.

Frequently, we may punish ourselves for not being good enough, quick enough, brilliant enough or beautiful enough.

The waters of our life become polluted when we don't trust in the natural flow.

Poet William Henry Davies once said with great wisdom: "A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare."

Take your time. Breathe!

Reflect on what's important to you right now.

When we relax into an easy pace, and treat ourselves with tender loving care, life starts to flow.

When we let go of the thoughts of pressure, problems, challenges, stress, desperation, and so on - and reinvigorate those thoughts with positive enthusiasm - we step into our equilibrium.

Everything has its time.

And remember, you don't need to be perfect. You don't need to be anything. All you do is simply be.

So let go of impatience and yearning and limiting thoughts.

Just trust in the flow of life.

Simply BE.
