The Zen of Flow and the River of LifeLife is like a river. It has its own flow and direction. There are rapids and falls, as well as peaceful pools. Some places are narrow and some are very wide. Sometimes the river goes very fast, and other times it hardly moves at all. But rivers are always in some movement, as is life.
You can’t push a river to make it go any faster, nor can you, on your own, slow it down or stop it!
Your primary task in life is to learn how to effectively navigate this river, and of course, to enjoy the trip as it, and you, flow on through.
I’ve known a number of people who’ve tried to be river-pushers. They try to do more than is humanly possible, and often expect the same from others. They get frustrated with themselves and others when results don’t happen fast enough. These are typically the perfectionists who have the underlying fear of failure. They’re also prone to unhealthy levels of stress due to this attempted river-pushing. They miss the beauty and lessons of life because they’re so busy trying to make things happen, instead of just letting them happen.
There are also those people who try to stop or slow down the flow of the river. Too often these people suffer from high levels of unhealthy stress because of all the energy they pour into their river-blocking tactics. They often sabotage their own lives because they’re simply afraid of where the river may take them. These are the people who have the underlying fear of change, and will do just about anything to keep themselves in the status quo. They always want to know ahead of time where they’re going and what’s going to happen. They, like the river-pushers, miss out on the wonderful adventure and natural illuminations which occur in the flow of the river of life.

I’d like to invite you to be an expert life-river navigator. Tomorrow I will share with you three tips to help you successfully navigate through life.
