Metaphorically, I have this poem by Japanese zen poet Ryokan tattooed in my heart to remind me that thinking you are in control of where the maple leaf lands is counterproductive and pointless:
Maple leaf
Falling down
Showing front
Showing back
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination (Carl Rogers)
