The flow of life

Posted on by philipdodson

We are conditioned to be always trying to make things happen, engineer outcomes, set goals, hustle and so on.

Perhaps there is an alternative, just accept what is and go with the flow of life, do not resist things and be at peace within free from the fight.

Life will unfold and flow with magic when we let go of trying to make things happen.

The negative energy of all that effort to make things happen that we can not control. We are unable to stop the waves in the sea, but we can ride over them.

The flow of life is there for us all, get on and go for the ride, see where it takes us.

Walking away

Posted on by philipdodson

If you walk away from an argument, if you resist a fight, if let go even when you do not agree, is that weakness? Or is, in fact, the very opposite?

We see arguing, fighting, being opinionated, aggression, dominating others and so on as strength. We see being ‘in-charge’ as leadership. Perhaps leadership is actually setting an example for others to be inspired by.

It is the weakness of the mind and the vulnerability of our self-image that causes us to fight, argue, become aggressive, behave badly to defend the things that do not matter and are in fact not real, but a fabrication of our minds. Minds fighting with other minds verbally and physically, and to what ends? A winner and loser. In fact, all parties suffer, there never needs to be a winner or a loser.

What if we could see walking away as a strength, would we have a better world?
