We are all floating in a tremendous river and the river carries you along.
Some of the people in the river are swimming against the current, but they are still being carried along.
Others have learned that the art of the thing is to swim with it. You have to flow with the river.
There is no other way. You can swim against it, and pretend not to be flowing with it.
But you still flow with the river…

When you know that you have to go with the river,
suddenly you acquire—behind everything that you do—the power of the river.

Alan Watts
