When something interferes with our plans, it’s not personal or wrong. It just means those plans weren’t in alignment with reality. Since we can’t know that these detours won’t ultimately provide even greater benefit, getting upset or angry is self-defeating. Because we see such a small fraction of the big picture, it’s wise to choose to be at peace, recognizing that life unfolds the only way it can. Rather than being a passive response, this approach removes dissatisfaction and blame from our consciousness and allows our energy to be balanced, so we meet what does show up with…

Positive curiosity.
