56) Go With the Flow

I must always remind myself to never force the issue. In life, go with the flow. What does that mean? According to Google dictionary, it defines, "Be relaxed and accept a situation, rather than trying to alter or control it."

How to "go with the flow?" Here is a list (that I can think of right now) shown below of myself "going with the flow."
  • I am dribbling the basketball as I read the defense. For instance, if I am tightly guarded, I sell a shoulder fake to my right then I go to my left. If I am loosely guarded, I take the jump shot. (Do not be out of control.)
  • During a point, I see my tennis opponent standing 8 feet behind the baseline, therefore I surprise him with a drop shot. (Read my opponent by wisely using tactics.)
  • I like this lady. Immediately set up a specific date, place, and time with her. (Get to the point.) If she doesn't respond, let it be. (Don't be needy.) Respect the lady. If she seems disinterested, do not even pursue her. (Do not waste time.) Remember the common saying, "There's more fish in the sea."
  • In benchpressing, I must need a spotter if I am going heavy. (Go a bit heavy so my muscles can adjust it eventually. Getting myself stronger.) If I cannot find a spotter, then lift lighter. (Do something at least.)
  • In driving on the freeway, I keep distance to the car in front of me. (I hate tailgating, or else I have to brake.) Save money on your brakes and tires. Also, the car behind me will not panic. (Driving a car on the road is anticipating your surroundings.)
  • I openly talked to somebody. I could read his body language that he had to go. Thus, I tell him, "Sorry, I don't want to tie you down."
  • I text messaged this lady a few times. She never replied to me. Obviously, she does not like me. (Please stop texting her. I should get the point by now.) Most women (or some) do not want to be upfront with men. (It is what it is.)
  • ​The weather is unpredictable. The rain comes and goes. No tennis, then. (Be patient.) First and foremost, it does not rain 24/7 in the Bay Area.
  • I went on a date. During the date, I could see that she was not into me. (I read signs.) For instance, she was on her phone whenever there was a moment of silence. Overall, I did not see any chemistry. (I am glad it ended there.)
Read the situation, and do not force the issue. I am "going with the flow." (Avoid myself from having more wrinkles.)
