And the neighbor came by and said, you have the worst luck.
and the farmer said maybe but the next day the horse came back with four mares and the neighbor comes by and says you have the best luck and the farmer said maybe but the next day the farmer's son is on the horse he falls off and breaks his leg and the neighbor comes by and says you have the worst luck and the farmer says maybe but the next day the army comes to take his son to war the farmer's son to war and they can't take him because his leg is broken
And the neighbor comes by and says, you have the best luck.
And the farmer says, maybe.
And in the Taoist tradition, the story means things just change.
They're neither good or bad.
But for me, when I heard that story, I actually felt a pop in my chest.
And I just felt this release because I was always projecting that things were going to be bad when I didn't know when life was uncertain.
And all of a sudden I realized life has maybe.
So whatever I was thinking, whatever I was projecting, whatever I was worried about, it might unfold differently.
And it sounds so simple, but this idea of maybe takes you from this place.
Where in your mind, you're so positive you're doomed.
You're so positive life's not going to work out.
And it takes you to this place you realize maybe things could get better.
Maybe there's more in life.
Maybe I don't know the answer.
Maybe everything is still okay.
And it just, it changed my life from this place where uncertainty frightened me to this place where I truly believe that if I want my life to change.
It has to happen in the unknown and uncertainty is my best friend.
Right.
