Vex not they spirit at the course of things; they heed not they vexation. How ludicrous and outlandish is astonishment at anything that may happen in life. – Marcus Aurelius

We should have ambitions and make plans. Then leave the result to Nature/God. It pays not to worry or hassle over things that we don’t control. In fact by worrying we lessen our own preparedness to tackle life and the challenges it throws at us.

Flow with this river called time, let things take their course, maintain your own peace, do all you can, and let go… Enjoy the journey!
