Create the Flow

Create the Flow

There is a lot of talk about being in the flow and going with the flow. Yes, the flow is important and being flexible is important, but before you can be in the flow you have to create the flow. Creating the flow is about action. Before one can have any flow there has to be something to flow. Being available to opportunities and creating opportunities is what creates the flow to happen. Once the actions and opportunities that we stir up create the flow, we can stand back and watch what happens. Once the flow is created with our actions we can then be in it and be open to where it takes us. The flow doesn't just happen. It is by choice that we create a flow.

Coaching

When people complain that there is nothing happening in their life, it is because they have not created the flow. The flow happens when we "stir the ethers" and create motion in our lives by our action. Stirring the ethers is about creating energy in our live. Energy is created when we take action. The great news is that it often doesn't matter what the action is just as long as we are doing something. The action creates the flow that we then can get into and enjoy the opportunities that come our way.

Quotes

"Don't 'over-control' like a novice pilot. Stay loose enough from the flow that you can observe it, modify, and improve it." Donald Rumsfeld
