flow

People always say that I go with the 'flow' or I get things done by doing nothing...or lead without leading...and that is absolutely my goal...I figure...

Why the hell should I work so hard to accomplish something?

Granted, there are hurdles,challenging obstacles...but I think it's important to know what exactly going with the 'flow' means.

1.) When I do something, I don't take anything personally. There's no need. When you isolate every situation and absorb every negative emotion people are dispersing (e.g. screaming at you because they had a bad day, a car cutting you off on the road..etc).. you end up weaker, less focused, one step farther away from being..well, happy and at peace.

2.) Not judging, or taking things personally, I've learned to accept. And to some, this may be a passive state. "Why the heck should I accept the situation when someone is being stupid?". That's like if you were dealing with an alcoholic. Who's crazy (figuratively speaking? The alcoholic who is doing exactly what they're suppose to do (e.g. being inconsistent, emotional, maybe even slur their words)? Or you, expecting him to be straight forward, focused, honest? You get the picture. Acceptance is a powerful way of living.

3.) Acceptance, is the ability to strengthen awareness. Awareness is an interesting concept. It is essentially something that is hard to articulate..It just is...and it is space from the noise in our environment..(e.g. media, interruptions from people, you name it). Awareness in my opinion creates discernment...the ability to make decisions based on intuition..where goodness prevails for everyone (trust me I was no angel but I've learned).

Ok gotta go to martial arts practice...I'll continue laterz.
