Mountain or River??

Something interesting I read...

Some people aspire to be like a mountain; strong, steady, and never wavering. Others aspire to be like a river; always flowing, travelling, changing and shaping others, and joining the big picture to make bigger changes.

But I beg to defer. A mountain is fixed and rigid, always looking at the same view everyday. It also gets shaped and influenced by elements such as wind. The river will dry up one day, and when it joins the big picture, it gets tossed around.

To me, I think it's most important to follow your heart and be flexible about many things. You can plan and aspire all you want, but things may not always go your way. Be prepared to change your stance from being a mountain to being a river. That's life.

If you are not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
