“If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
Reflection
Sometimes I can notice a tendency in me wanting to control my surroundings. If I put my cards right I think I will get what I want. When events unfold in a direction I never intended, I may be disappointed. But at least as often I am pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Now when I think about it, life would be incredibly boring if it always turned out as I had planned.
Today's exercise
