Struggling to keep up? Here’s why it’s okay to pause - By Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Time is like a river and you are sitting on the banks with your feet in the water, watching time flow. Time is moving and it has made you swim in its tough times and unpleasant times. Sometimes you have jumped into the water, sometimes water has gone above your nose but somehow you managed to come up.

As long as you don’t forget that there is a shore to hold on to whenever you have to, it’s okay to be in the water. But if there’s a flood or a fast current is flowing, then at that time get onto the shore.

Similarly in life, too, sometimes you have to be cent percent in life; be cent percent with time. And at times, you have to sit on the banks and watch.
