Hi, I’m Simon the salmon, strong fins, upstream dreams. Most creatures think we’re just born to swim against the current. But the truth? We don’t just fight the river… we listen to it.
The river speaks, if you’re quiet enough. It whispers truths in every twist and turn. Here are my 3 current- tested, instinct-approved lessons from listening deeply:
I didn’t always understand why I swam upstream. It hurt. It was hard. But something deeper guided me. Not logic, instinct. Life will call you places you don’t fully understand. Trust the tug. Your path may be tough, but it’s true.
2. Flow with Resistance
Rocks. Rapids. Detours. I used to fight everything in my way. But the river taught me: resistance isn’t your enemy, it’s your teacher. Flow around obstacles. Learn their shape. Let them shape you, too. Strength isn’t just pushing forward, it’s learning how to move with purpose.
3. Return to What Matters
We salmon always circle back, homeward, heartward. Not out of habit, but meaning. Life isn’t just about forward motion. Sometimes the bravest thing is returning: to your roots, your truth, your peace.
Final Thought from the Salmon
The river doesn’t shout. It murmurs. It nudges. And if you listen, really listen, it tells you everything you need to know. So today, trust what pulls you. Don’t fear the current.
And remember, it’s not always about the destination. Sometimes, the river is the lesson.
