I Am Trying To Accept The Things I Cannot Change

Most people say you have the power to create the life you want. Its all up to you what path you want to choose. but I think 95% of the time we have no control over anything.
Life is much easy if you just give up fighting and go with the flow.

The wisdom stuff is the tricky bit...

I have found it easiest to go with the flow when it's going where I want to be, and when it's headed in the other direction, I stand firm and let it flow by me.

I have found that there are some things that I cannot change about myself and be comfortable and calm.. But that is in the low percentage..

MOST of the things - about yourself - YOU CAN CHANGE...
Keep trying and keep dreaming...

there is a lot of truth in what you say ,for the most part the majority do just go with the flow.Its not like there are major incentives either,thats left to about 5 % of the population ,the rich is a very exclusive group. so small steps keep on moving🤣

@english Yes, The rich is a very exclusive group. If you have a desire engraved then going with the flow probably not an option but to fight for what you want. Some people say " life is for the living" there is nothing wrong chasing after your dreams.

@Anna1880 again its all part of the so called dream they are trying to sell us, im sorry i find most these days cant think outside the box . its just my opinion 😕

"so called dreams" come to think of it, you have a good point. Yes we are all conditioned by the media and social agencies. But sill dreams gives hope, something to look forward to. without a desire its hard to wake up in the morning.

Going with the flow is ok if you want to go that way.
Never swim against the flow because that's where you want to be, it doesn't work instead swim across the flow, you won't get there as quickly as you would like but you will get there.

Anna1880 · 31-35, F

@GeniUs Then again going with the flow using the "Law of attraction" perhaps you can get there without too much of a hustle. Sometimes miracles do happens.

Or do we just get wise enough to realize the cost/price of some things ... and decide to choose our battles?

Anna1880 · 31-35, F

@hlpflwthat that is called, playing safe 😉
