"What do we do when things just don't seem to be going the ways that we think they should, the ways that we want them to, the ways that we try to make them go? It's very frustrating sometimes to feel that the world is doing its own thing without considering our needs and wants--but sometimes, when we trust life, we start to see that our "failures" are simply life's way of pushing us in new and exciting directions--not always gently, of course, but pushing us nonetheless. The problem arises when we start to feel the need to know just what this larger plan is. That's not necessarily for us to know, though--sometimes it's important just to trust, to let go of the need to try to control outcomes, and start to look for the hints that will tell us how to contribute to the world in the ways that come to us most naturally, the ways in which we're the most strongly gifted." --
