We all imagine the best for our future and we fashion images that are consistent with our desires. There is nothing wrong with taking charge of our life, and like an action hero figure, forging ahead to make things happen. But, the inverse side of the coin is a consideration as well. We must accept what the universe has deigned to give us, and be happy for the gift. There is only so much we can do to force our lives in a certain direction. At some point we have to surrender to the breeze and let the natural forces take us where they may. Accept the Will of the Universe and be content with our destination. The true peace and happiness is found in the journey, no matter where we are pulled. So says Lilly!
Amen
ReplyDeleteSounds like an application of the left and right brains, the yin and the yang. I agree that one must be accepting of "what the universe has deigned to give us," but only after doing my absolute most, "forging ahead to make things happen."
ReplyDeleteSince that has never been an easy process for me, I now want to pursue some of the interests that I skipped in the past.
The key is to be able to discern that which we can control, with that which we can't, and act accordingly.
Awesome post, Bro.
You make it sound easy.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not "easy". But, all we really have is this moment.....all we are accountable for is this breath. To pull our attention away from the past or future is challenging, but the result is the ability to savor the immediacy........besides, it's fun!
