It is when life takes its course that you realize you don't have to fight. Let's say you're swimming in a river, you would fight against the current till you're exhausted. When you go with the flow however, you move effortlessly.
Think about how you approach your daily tasks. Fundamentally speaking, we strive to get a hold of every little detail, be it at work or in our personal life. This can make things much harder. But if you let things happen by themselves, it normally goes better.
This is very important when planning a big event as well. You could easily get overwhelmed if you got too stressed about every little thing. But sometimes, if you just let go and let things be, you're really going to enjoy the moment. Things will most likely just fall into place. This is because you are aligned with how things are unfolding.
This isn't just about cutting down on stress. This is about self trust. Just like a tree grows toward the sun in a most natural fashion, so you can move through life, knowing that things will fall into place as they need to without your pushing or striving. Sometimes the best results show up when there is merely being and flow.
So, when things are really getting at you, just flow with it because it may be the easiest way to do things. In letting go of your need to control everything, you are really making space for a more natural and full experience.
