Going with the flow may not always be the best direction. For instance, can anyone say river and waterfall? We could be flowing along peacefully and then our peace is shattered by the roar of the falls. Can we turn around in time or will we go over?
Which is why I like to add - "with what feels right and good within you, in each moment" - when teaching my students. Now, that doesn't mean it will always have a positive outcome, but it will eventually and hopefully teach us to sharpen our instincts.
Of course, we can learn to be around others who may have sharper instincts, if we choose the easier way. If we do, that is giving our power away to another. Yet, if that is our path then may we be blessed by another's wisdom.
Either way, if at first we don't succeed, try, try again. We learn by trial and error through those "flows" that can take us on many various journeys; new adventures just around the riverbend, with or without the sound of falls.
