Don't just go with the flow, fight against the currents instead...

"Some people will just go with the flow of things and sway in life, while others will fight against the currents and go upstream to reach their destiny."- Anthony Liccione.

Going with the flow is easy and anyone can do that because, it is the easiest way to go and the easiest way is the best way for the majority of mankind.
For some, they have no choice so, they move with the flow just so they are not completely dormant or without use for self. And for the very few others, they go and and keep fighting against the currents because, they want to see what lies ahead after the storm.

No one is created to be without pain or challenges and no one knows how best the strategizes to tackling life are to be applied, but everyone is created with the ability to think, rethink and take some time to think things over before taking a leap.
