WATER it WORTH

Be Like Water 

·         Be like water

·         No matter how old you are, there's always something good to look forward to. - Lynn Johnston

·         There is a theme that runs throughout the Tao Te Ching and it is to Be Like Water

·         The qualities of water

·        
You can freeze it, boil it, or vaporize it, and it still perfectly fine. It's still water.

·         There are many incredible attributes of water for helping you live a peaceful and joyous life.

·         It really doesn't matter what happens to it.

·         Water cannot be grasped • it cannot be held. • It cannot be hurt by the environment because it simply shapes itself accordingly and continues on its wondrous journey.

·         Water shapes itself to its environment, but it always gets to where it is going.

·         Water always gets to where it is going.

·         Water is present in the ocean.

·         It then gets absorbed into the clouds as moisture.

·         The clouds then move over the land and it rains or snows

·         The water then eventually makes its way back to the ocean.

·         Sounds simple

·         Well, as you know, water can take an infinite number of detours as it makes its way back to the ocean. It can remain frozen in a glacier for eons. It can end up in a dam.

·         It can flow its way through endless streams and tributaries. It can end up buried in the ground. But eventually it always makes its way back to the ocean. And then it always makes its way back to the clouds and falls down as rain.

·         Can you let yourself be like water?

·         Instead of holding yourself in opposition to the world, your life, and what is happening, can you think of this metaphor of water?

·         Can you let yourself flow with what is, knowing that you will always end up where you want to go?

·         If you are experiencing turbulent times.

·         Trust that the greater part of you has the power to heal

·         To nourish, and to sustain you.

·         Trust that this same part of you will keep you on track.

·         No matter how many detours you seem to be taking.

·         The spiritual part of ourselves is always on purpose, gently helping you become the greatness that you are.

·         Be like water and become attuned to the endless flow of wisdom and insight within yourself.

·         When you do, all of life will take on a whole new meaning.
