Go With the Flow

By Greg Hickman

 

“Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.”
Wayne Dyer

How many times have we heard someone say that we should just go with the flow? More times than we can remember, right? And while going with the flow isn’t likely to rock too many boats, will it take you where you’ve always dreamed of going? Maybe yes, and then again, maybe no — and here’s why.

While I will quickly grant you that going with the flow can be some sound advice to follow, it has to be your own flow and not someone else’s if you truly desire to make your most cherished dreams come true.

“Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world.”
William James

So what does going with the flow mean to you? If it’s doing your own ‘thing,’ throwing your heart and soul into those activities and pursuits you truly were born to do, you’re probably already having the time of your life. By tapping into your own flow and then going with it, you’ll discover that you can indeed achieve anything and everything you have the courage to accomplish, hold and have.

However, if going with the flow just means hanging out with those around you and doing whatever they you are doing or not doing, chances are pretty good that your flow will sooner or later come to a screeching halt. Why? Because it is not your flow; not the things you were put on earth to dream, reach out and achieve.

“Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
Lao-Tzu

Far too often we see what other people have or observe what other folks are doing and begin patterning our own behavior after them, hoping to generate the same if not better results. Before long, we end up disappointed and disheartened, left wondering why we couldn’t pull it off like the high flyers we desperately long to emulate. What we fail to realize is that we can fly as high if not higher than our peers if we would only allow those wondrous capabilities we hold within us to freely flow — and then passionately follow them wherever they may take us.

Instead of constantly swimming against the current or going against the grain like you may have done in the past, why not choose to lighten your load by taking the path of least resistance: going with the flow instead of against it? Rather than wasting your energy and effort chasing your tail in the unsuccessful pursuit of your dreams, why not set your own tempo and direction by tapping into this internal wellspring of electrically charged energy?

“You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.”
Norman Vincent Peale

Going with your own flow can take your life to a whole new level of excitement and achievement, propelling you well beyond what you presently believe is possible. Hey, isn’t it about time that you started making your life the action packed adventure you deserve to live? Great! And here’s comes the best part of the deal. Your natural flow is there for the taking.

This magical, marvelous flow to everything you have ever imagined is not some hidden, ever elusive pathway that is located out of sight or out of reach. Not even close. Whether you know it or not, a lifetime brimming with health, hope and happiness is right where is has always been — right there just inches from the outside world, tucked away in your heart and soul. The question is simply this: are you daring enough to bring it to the outside where the action is happening — and then get happening yourself? You bet you are!

"The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You already know where that flow wants to take you. Yes, you do. You’ve felt it on countless occasions reverberating down inside of you, right there where it’s been for years and years. There can be no denying it; you’ve felt that fascinating, forceful flow time and time again, begging you to toss aside all those worries and fears that have held you back in the past.

Your creative imagination has tugged at your heart strings time and time again, urging you to boldly blast your way out of the ordinary and into the out of this world future that awaits. Instead of following in the footsteps of others and getting caught in the wake of their flow, why not forge your own destiny by going with your own flow and blazing your own trail into history?

The Bottom Line: When you go with your flow, there is no telling how far you can go.
