I've been trying to live by this quote for the past few months and I can't tell if it's actually working. I used to put a lot of pressure on the past and what has happened there but in recent times, I've definitely stopped doing that. I've gotten so much better at living in the present and forgetting what has happened before.
I've stopped over planning but I've also let some things slip through the cracks. My focus isn't as strong as it used to be and I'm putting my responsibilities elsewhere. That is something that needs some work.
I think the biggest thing that I take away from this quote is the fact that I have to stop trying to figure out how I feel. I always feel the need to label everything in my life but I've realized that I don't need to do that. Not everything can be labeled, not everything is black and white. Sometimes there is that grey area and I need to get used to it.
Life is not always going to be clear, sometimes things will fall over the line and can't fit into a category. Whether it's feelings, emotions, work, or relationships, not everything in your life needs to be cut a certain way.
Just like the quote says, just let things happen. You might be happier that way.
