The opposite of going with the flow

I’m more than certain that there’s a quote that goes something like:

It’s easier to ride the wave than it is to resist the tide

But there’s a time for both of those things.

A time to go with the flow and a time to go against it.

The interesting thing about life is that sometimes when you’re so set on doing things one way you end up discovering that the best thing to do is the very opposite.
