Are You Paddling Up Stream? Go with the FLOW!

Have you ever sat on an inner tube on a hot day in the summer and just drifted?

Toes dangling in the water, cool beverage in the hand, and the sound of water tapping the hollow tube as you slowly creep down the winding water...

This is exactly how life is meant to be, we are to 'go with the flow', relax and enjoy life.

However, all too many times people will be in the midst of a soothing journey and all of a sudden they panic, drop their drink, and start kicking and paddling with their arms to get back where they just came from.

Now have you ever attempted to paddle up stream against the current? You have to exert twice as much energy and if you pause just for a second, you'll end up right back where you were!

The FEAR of the UNknown.

This is what drives most people to sit on their tube in stagnant water near the shore in a shallow little wading pool where they can get their feet wet with no obligation of movement.

Many people do this with their home business, they buy a kit, and stay on the auto ship. And stay right there they are comfortable. They can say they have a home business, but fear stops them from moving forward.

When they are there, in the little wading pool, they can not be rejected! They also can not grow. Often they quit...

I've learned over the years it is much simpler to 'go with the flow' vs 'paddling up stream' - what about you?
