Surving over two years of uncertainty where the future and security of my loved ones are involved due to the failing economy has toyed with all of our emotions time & time again. Yesterday I felt it was time to visit the library and see what literature popped out for me to read. This book grabbed my attention. I'd seen it there before, I think it's been recommended through previous authors I've read. But this time, I think I needed to read it.
According to the first three chapters, life is much easier to tolerate when we live by a "MAYBE" kind of attitude. Taking nothing for granted, and letting go of the control for perfect outcomes. Maybe it will be a good day, maybe it wont. We often need to be right about everything too, when we should be listening to eachothers point of views instead. Agreeing to disagree is better than having to know it all all the time. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you're right, maybe your wrong. We don't know the grand design of the universe and it's intentions. Science is based on a significant amount of guessing. So maybe there's a reason why this country is in crisis, maybe there's not. I'd like to think this country is coming to a new age, a realization that in order to survive we need to drastically change the way things are done in government. I like to think everything will work out in the end, but maybe it wont. Then what? I guess I'm learning that I have no control over the future. It will be whatever it will be. And only time will tell. We can only do the best we can in the mean time.
The "pinch" is greater now than it's ever been, and I hate seeing those I love carry such a big burden. We need a miracle....God, please....we need you.
Having no control over anything has been frustrating. But giving up control over everything can be liberating according to this book. So I'll let ya know how it turns out.
