The key to a well-lived life
is learning to ride the waves--
to read the currents--
of life,
and comprehend the signs of the times.

It is all about the flow,
and the signs of the times.

You can be in accord with the flow,
or you can be swimming against the current,
your entire life long.

Intuition reads the flow
and goes with it.

The willful pursuit of success
is the salmon's return to the breeding grounds.
They get there and then what?

With the flow or against the flow
is the primary choice of life.

But first comes the ability to read the flow,
the knowledge of the flow.

We talk about flow all the time,
but there are few experts in the field
guiding people in the process
of alignment with the flow.

I'm thinking that is because
success, acquisition, acquirement, triumph
are all the rage.

Tevya (in "The Fiddler On The Roof")
was a master at being one with the flow.
And a total failure at mastering success
(Understood as being at the top
and retiring at forty).

Living well is about understanding 
what life is about 
and being in full accord with it.

No?
