Go with the flowYou often hear it said but what exactly does it mean.
Does it mean that you are like a feather in the wind, and trusting that the wind will be in your favour?
Does going with the flow work?
Do you go with the flow?

Not usually! I'm the one who always swims against the current (you'd think I'd have learned by now, wouldn't you?)
Going with the flow seems like the easy way out - going passively through life with as little control over your own life as a leaf on a flood; swimming against the current requires effort, individuality and stubbornness, and not being prepared to go where everybody else goes - fighting to get back to the Source, perhaps? Or to find it?

i think it depends what situation i find myself in.... sometimes i find it is better to go with the flow until i can see clearly what direction it is taking, then i will decide whether i wish to continue on the same path or change direction.... i suppose it depends on whether something feels right or not!

You hit the nail on the head, Laura. Sometimes it's easy to get carried along by the wishes of the majority, until you no longer share that ethic, and then it's a fight to go in another direction. I can relate to that.

I suppose on a higher level going with the flow means taking careful note of what is happening in your life and following the signs.
I believe it means pay very careful attention and feel what is right for you. Then go with it. Most of the time we are asleep and really do not notice what is right under our noses.
It is all well and good going with the flow but you must first have your eyes open to see the flow.
