Sometimes sail within the current is the easiest path. You don’t need to work much, just let the river guide you. Nrima ing pandum as java people said. You take what ever universe give you, no complaining
Sometimes, your expectasion is difference than reality, you want changes in your life. You stir your sail agains the current, if you strong enough, you maybe can arrive to your destination. After you got to your destination are you feel happy? or are you need to sail again the current again.
Chasing the happiness
I think, I need to accept what universe give to me. But of course I want sometime in live and that is not accepting “the current”.
Can I be happy and have a goals? I don’t think so, goals is not a reality. You can achive it and maybe not, but I want to be happy.
Sail with the current is predictible, well almost. You can see were current will guide you. But does it make me happy? to have a live that is predictable?
Grateful
Maybe happiness is not someting that I should chase, it is grateful of a live that I have.
