You're either in alignment and living in the flow of life, or you're, to some degree, out 'in the waves' struggling against the current.
Most people think this is random, or they try to use force to escape the ‘waves’. But it doesn't work like that.
If you want to take genuine control of your own life, you need to be consciously aware, and in charge of your own alignment - moment to moment, without force. Then, you can navigate in flow every day - even in a chaotic world.
That's the only way to real freedom.
