When I was younger, I tried to brute-force everything through logic and effort. For some reason, that never yielded the outcome I wanted. Or, if it did, it wasn’t satisfying and didn’t feel like it was worth it.

As I’ve gotten older, I abide more and more in the mindset of “Let the chips fall where they may.” And surprisingly enough, they seem to fall in the right place; if not immediately, then a little further down the line, with arguably better timing. I’m not sure why that is (I have my suspicions). I’m just glad that it seems to work out.

  1. You are so right!

  2. A breadcrumb? In my inbox? What does this mean?

  3. I have found in my five decades of life that the best decisions are made rationally rather than emotionally, so I like to fall back on logic and lean into the rationale of things.

  4. Great point, Kent… that’s exactly how things usually work out 😎👍

  5. You write fiction convincingly, something I can’t do.

  6. I’d like to hear about your suspicions. I’ve noticed over the years that things seem to work out in the end. All that worry and pressing for certain outcomes usually doesn’t really matter. I guess it’s something like faith, but I too pretty much let things be anymore.
