It's a fact of life

Things are great when things go the way we want them to. The natural corollary being that things apparently suck when we can't figure out why they won't go the way we want or expect.

One apparent solution to this conundrum is to huff and to puff and to hope that by sheer will of fuming, things will turn out better.

Another approach, as you may have guessed, is to abruptly and swiftly fixate on fixing what's not working and finding out why. (Not a bad response.)

And a third option, which might at first feel like a shortfall (when, in fact, it's the best of both worlds) is to simply sit with it. To acknowledge and agree with it. To befriend it and invite it to tea.

To let your problems exist while you go about your day and your life just the same. As if nothing has befuddled you, or rather, that everything is still going your way.

Fate (and to some degree, fortune) don't seem to mind either way.
