Thought For The Week
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Alan Cohen in his book Deep Breath of Life shares the story of two men who were walking beside a river on the way to a town downstream when a storm broke out and a flash flood washed both men into the river. One man panicked, tried to fight his way back to shore, and drowned. The other man realized that the current was beyond his control and relaxed to the best of his ability, letting the river carry him, and to his happy surprise the river deposited him on the banks of the town he was headed toward and in a much shorter time than it would have taken him to walk. Alan writes: “When you come up against a situation you cannot control, trust that the universe is working on your behalf. When we fight what is, we lose our power. The sage capitalizes on the energy at hand and makes it work on his behalf.” I say, “Let go and let God.” When you surrender and trust the Universe, the outcome will always be perfect!
