Go with the Flow

“Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.” – Bruce Lee

Do you ever feel that you are “stuck” in a situation?

The only time you can ever be stuck is when you hold on to things that no longer serve you. E.g. if you love your job, you enjoy working but you if you hate your job, you feel that you are stuck in your job.

We are never stuck. It is simply an illusion. Life is constantly changing then how can we feel that anything is stuck.

The only reason we feel stuck is that even though life is moving we are refusing to move with it. We are too afraid to let go. We hold on to what we have rather than embracing the change life is bringing to us.

Life is too short to play by rules. Take control of your own life. If you don’t like your job, it does mean that you need to quit it right away but you can start looking for a new job. Using law of attraction, you can visualize what would you like to have in your current job or simply ask for a new job. It may not be very easy at first but with time and being aligned with your desires you can manifest anything.

Nothing can ever be constant, everything is always changing. The Multiverse is constantly expanding, earth keeps rotating, grass keeps growing, our bodies change, our kids grow, our hair, nails and even the smallest atoms in our cells are changing then why are you holding on to the things?

Sometimes we refuse the changes because they are uncomfortable but sometimes we refuse them simply because they are new.  So, even if something better is happening, we hate it because we are not used to it.

When a corporation implements any new computer system to automate manual process, employees hate the new system. Not because it’s bad but because it’s new. Gradually they like it but the initial reaction is almost always negative.

However, kids react differently to life changes. They love new toys. Once we buy them something new they play with it until newer toys arrive. Kids never say no to newer toys or games. Even if they play with older ones, they will still embrace the new ones with enthusiasm.

As kids, it is easier for us to learn new things not because we are young but because our brains are in constant learning mode. Everything from learning to walk to watching a new cartoon show, we are constantly facing new things. Our brain has no option but to keep up with all of it. As we grow older we are seeing the same things again and again and our brain slows down. And then it feels so stuck.

Stress is nothing but our reaction to the changes we face.  Instead of getting stressed over the things that we cannot control, we simply need to let go of those things and move on.

Lastly, never stay stuck because someone else is. If a friend is being too rigid to try new things, it is time to find a new friend who would. It may sound unkind but energy around you should stay flowing so that you can flow with life.
