How you respond to challenges- challenging situations, difficult people and unpleasant events? Most people tend to react to others. i.e. if they get pushed, then they push back even more! This simply makes the entire situation unpleasant and, in the process, we tend to lose our sense of semblance peace and balance. It is important to for us maintain our inner well-being and we cannot let outside situations, events or people- however tough or challenging to impact our inner joy and well-being.
In life we find that typically, when we run into challenging situations or people, our first instinct is to push harder and try to break in and through that obstacle! When we take such an aggressive approach, sometimes we may be able to overcome the challenging situation, but what we end up leaving behind is a trail of blood and tears.
We leave angry people who we may have hurt in the process. Obviously, these people who we have hurt and not going to overlook it, so basically, what we have done is created ‘future enemies’ for ourselves.

Even though we may feel justified that well- they were the ones who were ‘bad’ and blocking me, so what if I hurt them. But then you are getting caught further in the web of karma! Even if those folks were in the wrong, they will remember how you made them feel and then retaliate (when they can) and this will cause you more challenges and suffering if not right away then surely down the line!
Challenging people and situations are an expected constant in life. So, the question comes up- what is the best way to tackle such problematic people and situations?
Here we can learn from a flowing water stream! Think over and mull on- how can you continue with your chosen path while moving around challenges and obstacles; not in aggression or anger, but with calm and calculated maneuvering, so that you are not leaving behind a trail of blood and tears but something good, as you move on to bigger and better things…
If we are to observe flowing water, it takes a path of least resistance. It does not try to overpower any stone or tree that seems to get in the way and block it, but then at the same time, it does not allow itself to be stopped by them either! Whatever the space it gets, it takes it and keeps flowing.
Ultimately, we find that water can create bigger pathways by eroding all that resists it. Big canyons and gorges are evidence that exhibit how the great mountains of one time have now been reduced to sheets and crevices because water continued to flow- around, above, underneath, over.
Think on how you can bring this valuable lesson from the flowing water into your life…
