One of the core organizing principles of my life is that success comes through a delicate balance between making things happen and letting things happen. Yes, we have the responsibility to set our goals and realize our potential and play at our very best. But I also suggest that we have to balance a fierce resolve to making things happen with a gentle commitment to letting things happen. In other words - do your best - then let life do the rest. If you've tried everything possible to get an outcome and it just hasn't worked out as planned, stop trying so hard. Relax. Maybe the timing's not right. Maybe it wasn't in your best interests. Maybe while one door seems to be closing, another is opening. And often, once we let go of what we thought we wanted, space is created for something even better to arrive.
