I think it would have an adverse effect. If you're asking, then you're allowing someone/thing else to decide for you.
Man, you make something so simple, so complicated! Isn't that for us femmes to do?

We're searching for the answers so we can destroy them and dream up
better questions.

questions such as:

Can you imagine what it would feel like to become aware of an omnipresent ocean of wild divine love
that has always been a secret to you in the same way that the sea is invisible to a fish?

“The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt.

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."
~Garth Henrichs

Bèsame* · 04-04-2013, 10:51 PM

If we can just let go and trust that things will work out the way they're suppose to, with out trying to control the outcome,then we can enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.

I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I am *trying* to understand it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where your going, but you know that as long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

Enchantress · 04-05-2013, 11:15 AM

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you.
