Thank you for this. How easy it is to fall into that trap of expecting everything to go exactly how we want it to! As if the universe were taking directions from us and we are the conductors for the cosmos. I wonder what it is about us that entices us to think thing will go our way when experience should have taught us very early on that that is never the case? Perhaps it is our attachment to anger. We like to feel angry – we like to feel outraged – it makes us feel like we can control the uncontrollable. But this is suffering. Our egos must experience a little bit of death each time we decide to stop thinking we can control everything that happens to us. Egos love to be angry – they love to say that they are bigger than they really are. What a relief to let go of control! What a relief to see that the glass is already broken! Ahhhh…. now we can relax and just enjoy the ride! Thank you for sharing.
