Like River Water, Never Avoid Obstacles

Our lives flow like river water. Like little paper boats floating on the river of time, your lives flow along on a river. But you will not just flow along passively. Instead, as the masters of your own lives, you will go on finding your own currents, and creating them.

There will be difficulties and there will be loneliness. Obstacles exist for our growth. And obstacles are there to be overcome. I, too, have encountered many obstacles as I've lived my life, but those obstacles, ultimately have helped me along my way. All of these obstacles will play a positive role in causing your soul to grow.

As it flows along, the river encounters boulders and it encounters pebbles. But that doesn't make it stop and turn around. The river flows around those rocks and passes them by. The river doesn't fear rocks or obstacles.

All you have to do is pass by those obstacles like a flowing river. I want you to just create your own lives, boldly and yet quietly. Like river water flowing beautifully, magnificently, and proudly. I want you to live your life for your vision, like a river that flows ceaselessly as it embraces everything in its way.
