Your life isn’t a left brain problem to solve. You can try to plan. You can say, “I’ll do A, add B, then I’ll add C, D, E and F, and I'm going to get G. But of you're like most of us, the chances of it happening that way are pretty much zero.

We put so much emphasis on having our plans work out. We try to control our lives, and it’s so painful when what we’ve been expecting doesn’t materialize.

There’s a lot of healing in the realization that life isn’t scripted. It unfolds. Sure, we have some influence on what happens, but life co-creates our experience of it with us.

Life offers us amazing twists and turns, and if we’re open to what they can teach us, if we’re open to the unexpected opportunities, we can have the rich experience of life that happens in the doing of it. Of the being IN it.

Life is a creative act. Just like the making of art unfolds the art, the making of life unfolds the life.
