Accept the Unexpected

Embrace the Unexpected

Today we share a story, so that we never forget and we can draw lessons day to day. But always with great joy.

Once, there was a very mighty and large river. It was magnificent and there were many people who went to see it because the water was splendid and there was a huge waterfall. And suddenly in the midst of all those people an older man slipped and fell into the river and all said: Careful! Help, help! How do we get him out?!

And they were all looking for a way to give him a hand, to pull a rope, to put a stick, but they couldn't. The waters were rough, very strong and no one could shake hands so all the people there were looking at each other and saying:

Oh my God! What will happen?!

And everyone thought the worst, it will be a fatal end because he cannot defend himself, even if he is strong for his age, but the waters are too much, the current is too strong to be able to defend and fight. Then they saw that that older man was going down the river, he was going down, down, down until he reached the waterfall, and when he got to the waterfall they saw him that he fell and disappeared.

Everyone was worried and said: - what a pity! Such a good man that he was, those who knew him. My God and how is it possible, we could not help him? and in front of us we have seen how he has disappeared and we have not been able to save him.

They walked to the end of the waterfalls and after a long time they saw that something was moving, it was a dark shape that was moving, they began to look and look and they saw and said: - It's a miracle, it's a miracle! Not only did he fall into these strong waters, but he has fallen into the waterfall of more than thirty meters high and has come out, helps and has come out unscathed, what happened sir, what happened. It's a miracle, it's a miracle! Some took off their jackets, the others took some handkerchiefs, to wrap the man, they were afraid that the man was not alive, what happened to you sir, what happened? How is this miracle possible?

Then he very calmly and with infinite peace looked at them and said: - It is very simple,

when I saw that the river was swallowing me more and more to its depths, when I saw that fighting only increasingly dragged me violently, I let myself go and I thought, I let myself go, and let my destiny guide me. And I did not want to fight, I did not fight, I did not move, but I simply let the water do what it had to do. She alone knew whether to bring me back to life or take me deeper with her. So I let myself go and it was as if it were a wave, that huge torrent became like a wave, it enveloped me inside and it was as if it carried me in her arms. I went down and down I felt a very big blow and that I had deposited myself on the shore.

So I went out and saw that he was alive and learned a good lesson. And this lesson is for all of you my seeds:

That sometimes life we ​​cannot do what we want, and that we have unforeseen events, because there are unforeseen events in our lives. And it is at that moment that you have to let events take you and direct you and never go against the current. Because if I had fought against the current, I would not have come out and I let myself be carried away.

And so my seeds, what a beautiful thing, what a wonder, you just have to think that many times we are going to choose a path to take a walk, go trekking, or simply an adventure and sometimes we slip and fall, do not fight.

Let go because there are the unforeseen and there are the coincidences that one never thinks that these unforeseen events give us lessons and life lessons.

Nothing is by chance, if you have chosen a path and suddenly it leads us through the other, it is because you had to find a loved, loved person, or discover a tree, discover an animal that was walking around or simply contemplate the beautiful vegetation.

Always let yourself go and never go against nature, or fight against the current if it does not lead you, it has its reasons.

So everyone celebrated that new life, that new birth of this older man who later had a story to speak, explain and tell and tell for us as well. That many times some setbacks do not give us joy without realizing that it is the best for us and a fortune.

With all my love,
