The Fine Line Between Acceptance of What Is and Willful Manifestation

“All Nature is but art unknown to thee,
All chance, direction which thou canst not see;
All discord harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And, spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
One truth is clear,
Whatever is, is right”

- Alexander Pope

Life is a fine line between acceptance of what is and willful manifestation.  Learning to flow with what life offers, is a fine art that many people today speak of as “going with the flow.” Going with the flow is an essential lesson that can bring great ease and grace to our life. At the same time we must learn how to not accept things that do not serve our higher good.  It is in the balance of these two that some of our greatest life lessons can be learned.  Live what is most important to you by learning what you most highly value.  When we know what we most highly value we can use strong judgment which will lead us to a strong sense of knowing what to accept and not accept in our lives.
