Profound...but difficult to adjust to.
Great quote, Doug. I\'ve had MG for many years and people ask me all the time, \"How do you do it\" I just except whatever comes my way...these days, I\'m rarely disappointed..It is nice when things do decide to go smoothly though :).
I was raised up tought that you can never plan for anything. So I learned long ago to just enjoy what ever comes your way. Sometimes the best blessings are unexpected.
So true, but so challenging to accomplish! I believe this is the key to moving forward and having a great life. Thanks for reminding us all!
I\'m a big fan of Joseph Campbell\'s work. My saying is a little simpler: Make your life a sitcom rather than a drama--but then I\'m not as spiritual as JC. I\'ve had to learn that my will is not important--just frustrating!
