Flowin' With The Go.

My number one "life rule" is to go with the flow.  Life is short, and we should not have to make it hard on ourselves by forcing something that was not meant to be.  God, Fate, or whatever a person believes (or does not believe) in, has a plan.  I have found that when people are hoping or planning something and it does not work out, something even better will come along that could not have if their original idea had worked.  A saying that applies to this would be, "When one door closes, another one opens."  Going with the flow really allows a life to play out how it was supposed to, and it makes for happier, less stressed people.  They do not feel as pressured and worried.  But, people should still work for what they want to achieve.  Going with the flow does not mean people should not do anything and life will mysteriously work itself out.  Going with the flow means that we need to accept that what happens might not be what we always want or expect, but that is a part of life, and most often the path we end up taking leads to something better.
