row, row, row your boat...gently down the stream

We learn this nursery rhyme so early in our life and of course, we don't grasp how this is the best advice we'll ever be given...that's right, I said EVER. Us beings are always going upstream, we go against the stream and we pat our backs because we are fighting against that which is resisting us, we are fighters, warriors, and above all survivors...ARGH!! But have you ever taken a moment and wondered what it would feel like if you let your-self be carried by that same stream, if you just let go of those oars. What would surrender feel like for you? Out of control!? Oh, one of the scariest thing for some beings...but why? There is something, inexplicable to you and I, that protects us, that assures our well-being. But we, we don't trust that source, universal intelligence, light, god, i.e, whatever you may call it, is ALWAYS guiding you - perfectly. Well-being is yours, it is you who holds your-self back from joy, love, health, abundance. Why? Because we don't surrender to what is. We don't have faith that everything is working itself out exactly the way that it's suppose to. So, the next time something comes along and it arouses something in you that wants to fight it, think just for a moment and feel what it would be like to just go along with it and don't fight it. IF it's too scary, then do what you have to do and try it the next time. Don't ever force your-self to do something that you are not one with. The most important thing in life is to always stay true to your-self.
