The most common misunderstanding that prevents people from getting control of a situation and gaining their personal balance is the belief that: I need to get to where I want to be right now or as quickly as possible. We certainly understand your desire to find the answers to your questions quickly or to solve your problems as fast as you can, but still, that urge works against you. When you feel an urgency to be somewhere else, you are pushing hard against where you are. That is upstream. But an even more important flaw is in the premise you are beginning from this: In your belief that you must hurry to an improved place, you are discounting the power of the Stream, its spead, its direction, and its promise. And in the forgetting of those things, you are definitely pointed in the oposite direction of who-you-truly are and all that have become.
