Practical Transurfing - 78 day challenge, Day 39

Against the Current 

Declaration: Observe at least for a day how you mind tries to flow against the current. Someone says something, you refuse to listen; someone gives you something, you refuse to take it; another person does something you don’t like and you feel entitled to criticize him etc. This all happens when you play the participant. Now change the tactics and play the observant. Observe life and do not express negative feelings whenever something happens, which does not "coincide" with your plan. Life will become easier that way.
 

Interpretation: The mind has a fixed solution for everything. Everything has to go according to his plan. However, life is way too vast and the mind cannot find a stable solution for every problem. Yet, he tries all the time. Situations change all the time and that is why we should play the role of the observant. When you desperately hang on to your scenario, you try to go against the current of life and cause yourself trouble. The mind tries to control not your attitude, but the current itself. However, the Universe does not always go in the direction the mind wants. The only control the mind should be exerting is the control of the internal and external importance. If you do not try to go against the current, the problematic situation will fix itself in your favor without your direct participant...

So, the song 'Row your boat' is also relevant to this. But show me a person, who doesn't want to be in charge of his own decisions :) To persuade yourself that 'go with a current' will do you good, especially then you think something is not going right, is not the easiest thing to do. We all are taught that to get something in life you are supposed to do something, but not go with the circumstances. Is it a bit hard to separate this 'go with a flow' and what I call Oblomovism.
