The Flow of Life

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” Lao Tzu

Trying to resist the flow is a waste of energy and time. It is a greater reason why we suffer. Instead work with the flow of life and go about influencing the source of flow so that the direction we take is as we desire.

Change is inevitable. If we continue to swim against the current, we will get nowhere Enjoy this thought! Go with the current, influence the direction it takes you and enjoy the ride.

“You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do.” Sam Harris

Expanding on a thought that has been consuming my mind – Does free will exist? What choice or influence over our reality and the life we wish to live do we have?

If we are to believe that free will isn’t real what damage or risk does such a thought have in relation to our dreams, ambitions, drive and ability to create a life of meaning? Will we just accept what is and become passive in our existence? Will we limit the potential to live as greatly as we perhaps could? (more…)

“The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.” Aristotle

Biologically speaking we are hard-wired to survive. Happiness is nature’s way of helping us fulfil that need? We just endowed with chemicals and hormones that not only bring balance to the operation of this vessel but  guide us towards what is beneficial to our journey and what to avoid.

In this solo rant I discuss my thoughts on this topic. Thoughts on our happy chemicals. Why we have some natural tendencies to move towards pleasure and avoid pain, how this links to our evolution and need for survival and why it creates and ever expanding set of perceived needs. On order to better navigate our lives towards greater freedom, fulfilment and happiness.

Enjoy!
