quote of the day

[topaz]

Spotted in a friend's journal:

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

--Joseph Campbell

Oof. Yeah.

Yep.

I've been doing a lot of work lately around trying to accept life as it is. I'm gradually getting to a place where I feel that the things that happen to and unfold around me are the things that are supposed to be happening and unfolding, and that being worried/upset/stressed over things is just a waste of energy (and maybe a denial of reality, too). This is, after all, the life I signed up for, and I should get to living it and to learning the things I came to learn.

Hard stuff, but there it is.

I hear you. I'm trying too. Not doing as well, but trying. :-)
