Back in the day, when you wanted someone to chill out and just take it easy, you might advise them to “go with the flow!” Move along with whatever is happening and let it take you along for the ride. Depending on the situation, that advice could have some validity… or it could spell disaster! Conversely, if you didn’t want to go along with the crowd, you had to “go against the flow!”
How are you comments today? Are you going with the flow of negativity from others? It’s so easy to have that happen – you’re chatting away in a group, and before you know it, you’re caught in a web of gossip, criticism or the sly, slippery current of negativity that can sweep you under and take you down. Words, like water, have flowed freely and can never be retrieved.
Today be intention when you speak and go against the tide of pessimism, deconstruction and unkindness. Be thoughtful, carefully crafting those golden syllables so that when they do pour over your lips, they will refresh and renew, like a cool drink on a hot day.
