When we narrow in on one moment on this long never-ending journey, we mistakenly conclude that something did or didn’t work out for us. We become too specific and rigid in the outcome we desire and don’t realize that it’s an ongoing process that never ends. One outcome is the opening of the path to another. If we can become more flexible in how we get there and what “there” looks like, if we can pull back our perspective a bit and realize it’s always in the process of happening, then we might find that everything has been working out for us all along.
