Simplified Meaning:
If you are open and ready for what life brings, you'll find it easier to move forward and reach your goals. Imagine you are on a river in a boat. If you paddle with the current, it's easier to navigate and get to your destination. This is like being willing and going with the flow of what happens in life. On the other hand, if you resist and fight against the current, you will still be taken by the river, but it will be a struggle and you'll feel frustrated and tired. This is like being unwilling and trying to avoid or fight against what life has in store. To apply this to your life, try to embrace changes and challenges, rather than resist them. It usually makes the journey smoother and you can find opportunities in what comes your way.
