(goodbye Baby Bird I am letting go.)p.s. thats not really me in the photo, my hair is a bit shorter. BTW did the bird in the pic poop on takeoff?
I realize more and more nowadays that the greatest things in my life were not planned for (my wife, pets, human friends, my mom, the work I fell into, my inlaws). And interestingly, the things I fought hardest for (law school/top marks/certain projects/skills), while important for giving me a sense of control... were not the most important outcomes. ("perhaps because they were all ego based, you knob!" a part of me is saying)
"maybe its about saying yes to life. "
no..wait, check this:
"Nothing good can come of saying no, just the status quo. "™ ... (yes that's a Steven original courtesy of 5.33am insomnia and a bevy of drugs)
This came up again regarding surgery. I switched surgeons at the last minute because out of the blue I had an opportunity to be operated on by a top-recommended surgeon, one who other surgeons would go to if they too needed the procedure. Did I plan this? No. The one I planned to be seen by, in retrospect, sucked as she did less than half the tests (via interns no less!) and would have taken risks that I am no longer comfortable with. (Though she was kinda hot in a Volvo sort of way. ) Anyways... Someone kick me now but the universe does seem to provide when you say yes, let go or at least open up to the fact of "be careful what you wish for".
That's right Steven, let the universe unfold as it should. Every time I let go of ego and left thing happen on its own, it always came up head first.
