You can’t beat the universe. It’s billions of years old.

You can fight against it, but you’re just creating friction. It’s like driving a car through sand or cycling into a hurricane.

You’re using up energy fighting against the infinite.

Alternatively you can find out which way you’re being nudged. If you stand still, you’ll notice it.

If you can sense this, you’ll know where to focus your attention. Then you can just go with the energy that’s already there.

Suddenly everything’s easier, everything seems to flow a little better.

It doesn’t feel like friction anymore. It feels like every bit of energy you put in is creating movement and value.
