Go with the Flow

whatweeventalkinbout

In this episode me and Lindy talk about going with the flow. We discuss the analogy of floating in the middle of the ocean, face up and just letting the waves carry you to shore. It’s so tempting to look back and around to see the shore. And if we can’t see the shore, it’s tempting to focus on other objects and people and use them as a point of reference to see how close we are to the shore.
Using others as a reference point can become tricky- what if they lead you astray? You could also lead yourself astray, if you keep looking around to work out how close you are to the shore. Are we just supposed to lay back and go with the flow?

Going with the flow allows us to be more spontaneous. Lindy presents the much-asked question: What would you do if you only had one day to live? As the more spontaneous one out of the both of us, Lindy explains how asking herself this question has helped her to live in the present and embrace life as it comes.

We talk about going with the flow as a mindset that allows us to make use of opportunities as they come. If we think of the moments of our lives as something we can’t get back, maybe it would be easier to appreciate what each moment brings.

Going with the flow doesn’t have to mean chaos as long as we have some internal navigation. If we use the right reference point then we can surrender with wisdom. Lindy says we can only surrender to the flow of life when we say ‘yes to the higher intelligence.

This leads us into conversation about personal interrogation of fundamental Christian beliefs such as Jesus ' divinity and God's existence.

Beliefs. Surrender. Trust. Wisdom. Perhaps surrender results in a strengthening of faith. Perhaps it is a way to help us embrace life more actively.

We hope you enjoy it guys. And as always, thank you for joining the conversation.
