Quite often, without you even knowing most of the time, you’ll present yourself with a problem. And then your mind will immediately race to solutions. The mind will then internally debate which one makes the most sense, and take into account factors like speed, cost, affect/effect on others, and a million other tiny things, and, after a period of time, the mind will come up with an imperfect solution. You’ll then find a myriad number of reasons that you never thought of before that confirm that the decision your are about to, or have made, is the right one. This is all about control. Controlling variables you can’t possibly control. Finding solutions to problems that allow you to move onto the next problem and try and solve that one. There is no end to this. It’s one wave leading you to the other.
The other possibility is to imagine a world where you control very little, if anything. A world where a decision leads to an incalculable number of other things that come into existence that you would have never dreamed of. This possibility, in this world, allows you to simply view these things. View them as they pass and view them as they turn into the next thing. And instead of solving or controlling anything, you let go of one thing, and then another, until you ultimately realize there’s not much you can control at all. And once you do that, you can let go of more and more things, and just view them as they pass by.
