Don't you wish that all paths had signs letting us know what is ahead? Its only once we are well on our way that we realize the truth about our chosen path. By that time right or wrong makes no difference because... wherever you are -there you are. Fighting against it, arguing with it or screaming at it don't change what is. An interesting metephor is: if ever you are dropped into the middle of a raging rapid you quickly realize that swimming upstream is not an option, you have a serious prefrence against drowning, and going with the stream is really not what you want to be doing. So your only productive option is to swim toward the shore which is more of a slow deliberate process as you are still floating downstream. The same rules apply - it's not productive to fight against what is. You are moving along with what is every moment of your life. it is only by leveraging what is that you can maximise your energy out put to gain your desired outcome.
This sound remarkably like Abraham - Hicks now that I think about it. They talk about going downstream. A quote that I like from them : "When you are in hatred, follow it downstream, there you will find you anger and if you follow that downstream you will find your frustration, and further downstream your hurt will be and if you keep moving downstream there you will find your sadness and if you follow that downstream you will find your peace and then you can begin to allow what is." It's the idea that fighting against a thing only keeps it in your focus, but if you can begin to allow, then you can move beyond what is right in front of you to a better place.
