Just Let Go And Float

Lets go back to a time when we were just learning to swim. Remember the fear of sinking to the bottom of the pool or river. Remember trying harder and harder to grasp on to the water. The harder we grasped at the water the harder it was to stay above. And then finally we learned to just let go of our fear, relax, and float. Amazing, all we had to do was just let go and float.

How many of us are still living our lives this way? Kicking and fighting, trying to grasp on to anything and everything. We get so caught up in the way we think things should be that we end up forgetting to live. Think about how much time and energy we would all save if we would just let go and float. Once we realize that nothing happens by accident and that every person and incident is given to us for a reason it is much easier to "float". The trick is to find the good in everything. Find a reason to be thankful for it.

James A Ray states that "All of life is a dance." and Jim Rohn (http://www.jimrohn.com?kbid=9487) calls it "the seasons of life", either way the point is the same. The tides come in and go out no matter how hard we try to stop it, why don't we just sit back and enjoy it. Think of a leaf floating down a river. The leaf symbolizes us and the river is life. As the leaf floats down the river it will probably bump into a few rocks along the way, but eventually the wind changes and the leaf is set a sail again. Nothing is forever, the hard times will come and go and they will go much quicker if we address them, find the good in them, be thankful for them, and just let them go. Just let go and float, try it.
