irony

we always think pain and challenges are bad and pleasure and encouragement are good, but, like a lot of things we tell ourselves, it's a lie//

I think the truth is nearly always ironic. It's in giving that we receive. the way to deal with anxiety and other unpleasant emotional states is to stop fighting them - stop trying to control your emtional state. So, the way to exercise control is to let go of control.

another weird thing I've noticed is that, for some reason, it's often at the very moment that you give up trying to achieve a goal (or not long after) that it just happens.
