Things don’t always go the way I
intend or expect them to go. What really seems to matter the most is how I manage my disappointment and frustration. I can pout, sulk, and have a temper tantrum
telling myself it’s a horrible shame that it isn't what I expected it to
be. I can deny the facts and pretend
until reality finally forces me to accept it the way it is. I can try to manipulate and control the
outcome, clinging to a belief that I know what is best. Or I can acknowledge my feelings and remember
that sometimes I get things the way I want them and sometimes I don’t. Often, I have to admit things don’t
go the way I expect, they actually go better than planned.
Today, I intend to recognize my
over-attachment to outcomes and gently release my need to control or impress
others. I know that ultimately things
work out for my own and other’s best interests.
I will remind myself that everything has a purpose even if I don't see it yet.
