Today is a gorgeous day in my part of the world. It's 67 degrees with clear Carolina blue skies. After a few inches of snow and some very low temperatures earlier this week, I am excited because the weekend is going to be very Spring-like here. The reason I am illustrating my day to you is because I had a "reminder" of sorts as I was driving home earlier and I would like to give you a nice visual. I was sitting at a stop light and took a few moments to just take in the day and look up into the sky. I happened to notice a few black birds at play at the top of a large oak tree. There was one bird in particular that kept swooping back and forth with an air current - forming a "U" shape. Hmm, I thought, interesting that this bird is flying in a U shape over and over again. (I digress for a moment. See, I believe in signs, nudges, gentle reminders (if we pay attention) and  they can serve as reminders or lessons in our lives.)

So back to the bird, after playing for a minute or so, he found a nice perch among one of the tallest branches of the tree. I started to think and this is what went on in my head .. birds use air currents as a part of their movement... they don't resist the current ... how crazy would it be, a bird resisting an air current.... and it was flying in a U shape....hmm....so where in my life am I resisting a current... where am I resisting the flow.... where am I experiencing the most 'dis-comfort' in my life? See my point yet?

Well, I got my answer and I know exactly where I am experiencing discomfort and for that matter what I am going to do to irradicate it from my life.

Let this be a reminder that the more you resist something the more it persists. So take time to live in the flow and move with the current!
