Gentle Flowing Down The Stream

Sometimes in life, we may feel as if we are not making any progress. Our life has become mundane and without purpose. We may look at others in comparison and question ourselves as to when life had become less fulfilling. Although it may seem as if we are not moving forward, this is not the case. Like water, we flow gently down the stream and are in constant motion. Every experience that we have is new, every moment we have in life, we have created. We have opportunities to change the direction we are headed. There are no excuses as to why we are in the position we find ourselves in. As the water continues to flow down the stream, we should move forward in life. Today, find peace in what you do. You may not be where you feel you should be at this time, but know that when you have peace in your heart everything will be fine. When this happens, it doesn't matter where you are, you will be able to find beauty in the world. It is not your surroundings that you should rely on to bring you serenity, it is your inner spirit which guides you.

The ocean always brings peace to my soul...
(Watching a stream flow the other day, I realized that we do not ride on the water but are the water. I've always visualized maneuvering over rocks and being in rough water, but looking at the water I felt as if I was flowing with it. We go through life like the water in the stream, never stopping, but always moving forward. This makes sense to me.
