Let us be like a river

Dear friends, there are plenty of things in the nature which can shape our thinking. We can learn many things from the natural things around us. Just that we have to observe and reflect. A river teaches us many things. It can be compared to life. Just as a river has its starting and ending point similarly life also begins and ends.

In its early stage the river flows down very fast from the mountains which is comparable to first 25 years of our life. This is also our period of learning and growing because we are filled with energy. After that the river enters the plains the energy becomes less but there is expansion in its width. Even our experience grows and stability and maturity comes in life in the next 25 years of life. Finally when the river is about to enter the ocean then it forms the delta and reaches it. Similarly our energy also gets reduced and we wish to reach the almighty which is the ocean of love, peace and happiness.

The important lesson to learn is that the river is always flowing and we should also become a river of energy. We should not become stagnant and always be ready to go into the unknown and encounter uncertainty and welcome changes.
