Going With The Flow

A short one

There is something everyone I have come across has given me, advice. Advice to me is very similar to food, you like and dislike certain things, some of what you like is not good for you, while some of you don’t like is what you need. Whatever the case, ultimately you make your own choices. Something a lot of people have told me is to ‘go with the flow,’ this is a piece of advice I strongly disagree with. I am sure it comes out of love and concern for me, but my usual response is “Dead bodies go with the flow.”

If you are rowing a boat, do you care about the direction of the flow or do you direct the boat towards your destination? If the river is flowing in the direction of your destination, good, but if it is not row in the right direction instead of going with the flow. The river of life is always changing its flow, if you always go with the flow you will end up nowhere. Focus on the destination, the flow might help you or it might not, either way, row and row hard.
