 Nothing has ever actually gone exactly the way you planned it. Nothing has fit your structure from A to B. Sometimes and most of the time things don't even work out. It's a hard pill to swallow sometimes because it invites us to think about our lack of control and why really plan anything to a T when there's always a million variables that we can't control that surround our overall plan. But if you're in a place where something didn't work out, something that you really wanted to work out, I wonder how much of that was 100% on you. If you make a pie chart and put what I controlled and why it was my fault and then other variables that were part of the situation, it's a good experiment, maybe you're 3%, maybe you're 72%, maybe you're 100% but no matter what the percentage and how much you had control over the fate of whatever you were expecting, there's always the question, what do we do about it? What do we do when things don't work out? What happens when the hope we had for some certain outcome actually doesn't meet the reality? What do we do? What do we do? Maybe it's time to acknowledge that maybe we could be gentle and let life come to us a little bit. You know what I mean? Maybe in my life I forced and it was forcing everything, everything. Like as a perfectionist, things have to be like so and then I'll be able to do something and be at peace. But what if you let go a little bit? Like you had the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow, but what if you loosen the grip and let life come to you a bit and realize that everything that happens around you, even a lot of the time within us, we don't have 100% control. You know what you can control? What you tend to focus on in your thoughts to a degree and how you act. That's it, that's it. What you think about, what you spend time thinking about and what you do, how you act, how you behave, that's it. That's all on one side of what we can control, two things. Everything else, totally out of our control. Now that could make you feel two different ways, helpless and a little panicky, that's okay, it's a change. But if you really think about it, you'll know it's true. Or it can make you maybe take the weight off your shoulders a little bit. Let life come to you a little bit. And then as it comes, you deal with things as they come. That plan, that huge plan that you had for how your life was going to turn out and now you're at this spot being like, well, I didn't see this coming. I didn't expect this, I didn't plan for this, I didn't even see this two minutes ago, ten years ago, three months ago, and now I'm here. Now you're here. And now you deal with life as it comes. It's okay that things don't work out. Happens to all of us and it happens all the time. The question is, what's under your control? How are you going to think about this? And then what are you going to do?
