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.

    1. I believe that consciousness might be the base of existence, but not in a hierarchical sense, like in religion, but more in an interconnected sense, like in mysticism. As outgrowths of consciousness that are purposefully limited so we can not be everything everywhere all at once (the base nature of consciousness, which restricts it from experiencing growth, because it is simultaneously the beginning and end state, movement, because it is everywhere, and interaction, because it is everything so it has nothing to interact with), I suspect that being present and allowing relaxes any blockages to our higher selves, which transcend time and space and are defined by pure desire to experience certain themes, and so we let our higher self arrange synchronicities and circumstances in a way that fulfills and delights us, because we are working in tandem with it, not restricting it with expectations and criteria, and thus servicing and facilitating our deepest desires, the ones we–as surface aspects–were designed to experience.

      That’s what I suspect, anyway.

  7. Yeah, I simply chalk it up to “let go and Let God”. And honestly, things go better than I actually wanted.

  8. 👍🏾
