YOU CAN’T STAND IN THE SAME RIVER TWICE
Because the rivers’ water is constantly moving, it is constantly new at any
given point. Stand in the water and watch as it swirls and flows around your
legs. You may be standing in the same place but the water that you initially
stepped into is gone. It has been replaced with new, different water. You may
be the same, but the river is not.
I have found that change is inevitable no matter who you are nor what your
belief system. As your life is the river in question you either grow with it,
or you do not. Learning what still works for you and keeping it, as well as
what does not and letting it go, so that you have room to grow allows you to
keep up with your river.
Growth is better than stagnation. Growth gives you new opportunities, new
friends, new experiences and new ways to share with others. Stagnation gives
you pain, frustration, illness, and a wasted life.
When you look back at the river of your life what do you want to see in its’
wake? Growth and opportunity taken and applied or regret and remorse? Here’s to
every one’s river, free flowing, ever changing and ever giving to all you meet.

The other thing to remember is not to get swept away in the river. Allow the waters to feed your self, your spirit, and your soul. Grow with it's flow but not so slow that it errodes you away.
