My main role was introducing 'change' imposed by Strategic Headquarters. Tell the staff that things had to change and you had instant resistance. Tell them how it developed from what they were doing already and it made more sense to them and stood a far greater chance of being accepted. If you're trying to change something in your business or personal life and you keep coming up against obstacles, it's probably not in line with the flow. Going with the flow is not limiting. It can help you go much further providing you're using it as a way of enabling your change.

If you’re trying to change something in your business or personal life and you keep coming up against obstacles, it’s probably not in line with the flow. Going with the flow is not limiting. It can help you go much further providing you’re using it as a way of enabling your change.

I put this down to his amazing simple philosophies in life by which he lives his daily life, not just when times are tough - and we have had a few tragedies in our family over the last 6/7 years which would put anyone to their test. In his mellow scottish lilt he always just says 'Go with the flow' Go with the flow' - And quite simply it means there is no point in trying to control what has to be - and there are things in our lives which are beyond anyone's control. In doing so it gives you strength, flexibility and moreover allows you to be the strength and help that others need. <img src="http://apps.attainresponse.com/upl/ruthedwards@vmdirect-com/1260206204438.jpg" " width="200" /> My dear Dad, 85 years young, successful business man and Mosquito pilot in WW2 has the heart, mind and energy of someone 25 years younger than him at least and a strength of character that is awesome.

And quite simply it means there is no point in trying to control what has to be – and there are things in our lives which are beyond anyone’s control. In doing so it gives you strength, flexibility and moreover allows you to be the strength and help that others need.
