Flow with Life There is a parable in the book The Why Cafe about a surfer and a sea turtle.
Both start in the same position,
But the surfer quickly passes the sea turtle.
While continuing to paddle,
The surfer takes their eyes off the sea turtle,
And in time is surprised to see the sea turtle has made it far ahead of them.
The sea turtle's secret is that it only paddled when the water was flowing in the direction it wanted to head in.
When the current was going against the sea turtle,
It stopped and did nothing.
The surfer on the other hand,
Never stopped paddling regardless of where the current was flowing.
We are all swimming in an energy,
And this energy is flowing in a perfectly aligned divine rhythm.
When we use our mind to force our will on what is,
We often work against these natural and powerful forces.
But when we choose to align our will with divine currents,
Everything flows effortlessly.
The first step in living a life filled with great ease is to accept and observe things as they are.
Once you've learned how the divine current wants to flow,
You can choose to focus your energy where it is most efficient.
All of the greatest martial art masters intuitively know how to connect with this all-encompassing divine flow.
It's not about being the strongest or exerting the most effort.
It's about aligning your nature with the nature of the divine so that both merge together as one.
