'A Stream's Course'
Principles are timeless truths/concepts/proverbs for our ponderance.
Thank you Steemit readers.
A kind note to all new Steemians......good manners and thoughtfulness of others will take you far....as for those who leave notes and links directing members to their site....and those who comment without an accompanying upvote.......please be advised this is not the Steemit way.
bleujay does request that Steemians be so kind as to not leave gifs/photographs/etc. so as not to distract from the post......thank you.
Yes indeed, the stream changing course as it meets obstacles in its path. It looks spectacular. I see the sun has come your way!

Your principle of the day fits well to the photographs, in the nature everything lives in harmony with each other, the greens find their way to sun and if there are some large stones then they just grow next to it, rivers will make their way avoiding obstruction. But why then we people do not learn it from nature and think that we are right and not very keen to change something in ourselves saying that I always done this way and it is another person who needs to be changes not me. Is it an egoism in human personality that we all carry in us, our genes but it shows up only in those who are stubborn and not ready to change. We need to strive to harmony and if everyone does it we may all benefit from it.

This principle really speaks to me. Sometimes you want someone to change because you know it would be better for them if they did. Usually you can only change yourself or your own reaction to the situation.

Very beautiful stream, and nice sentiment to go along with it. It looks like quite a bit of water comes through there part of the year. I can't help but discuss that, as I'm a forester at heart and in the working past. Have you ever noticed it sounds like human voices sometimes, when you are down in the stream bed and it is 'babbling' on by? I always found that fascinating.

Absolutely amazing pictures and so pieceful. Just as life should be and so true about changing. I think we to often think we know what's right and are so focus on that decision and path that we can't take in anything else and refuse to change. I think fear of changing is another thing. But for me if you in a situation you don't wanna be I can't expect others to change it for me. The change has to start within myself... My mind and when I do I know I also se things differently. And nature is a natural guide that I wish we could embrace more often.
OK I shit up now.... Lol

Absolutely, why should you focus on changing others. What others are is their choice but what you can be is entirely upto you. Rather than putting your energy on changing others it is better you focus on your ownself and evolve to be a better person.
These pics remind me of one of our treks we made in a similar kind of stream surrounded with trees. It was so refreshing and soothing.

Very true @bleujay. We have no control over anyone but ourselves and our reactions and responses.
I used to teach that to my children. It's a great principle and value, really.
Sometimes though I wish I could control other people.....but what a heavy responsibility that would be.
I love the contrast of the still waters with the rough waters.....it confirms your principle today.
Have a lovely weekend. :)

Greetings @tornadoman.
Life here on earth is for the purpose of choosing.
The issue is Christ Jesus....you either accept or reject Him.
Once you beleive in Him.....you do know where you are going.
For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
.....from the original language of the Koine Greek.
Hope this assists in your journey here on earth.
Cheers.

This principle really made me think a lot, you see I've been through a lot lately, and I found that changing is HARD. I mean we are humans, it's easy for a river to flow,even if there a rocks and what not in it's path you know the current will go on with it's way somehow at some point.
Having said that, in the end things for me jus flowed well, smoothly, like a river I had rocks in the way, sometimes I felt tired, like in a pond, but things started to flow, just like a river.
All this to say thank you mate, this post made me remember that life it's not easy, it's not supposed to be, we just need to flow a little bit more.

all the photos are beautiful, but I am confused with your proverbs, is not someone able to change the behavior of others by way of educating, guiding, for example the parents against their children.
or do not I understand what you mean?

Greetings @longberry.
Principles are guidelines of truth for living for the adult/ matured person....primarily.
Certainly in any training/teaching situation the objective is to train/ teach for a change in the person's thinking leading to behaviour change...........not the person's personality.
Learning to respect another's volition/ choice is key to understanding the principle for adults and children.
Hope this assists in understanding the principle.
