Everyone knows how to choose; few know how to let go. It's only by
letting go of each experience that you make room for the next.
Choice should be a flow. Your body already suggests that this is
the natural way to exist. As we saw earlier, each cell maintains
only enough reserve of food and oxygen to survive for a few
seconds. Cells don't store up energy because they never know what's
coming next. Flexible responses are much more important to survival
than hoarding. From one viewpoint, this makes your cells look
entirely vulnerable and undefended, yet as fragile as a cell may
appear, two billion years of evolution can't be denied.
The skill of letting go can be learned; once learned, you will
enjoy living much more spontaneously.
How to choose without getting trapped:
• Make the most of every
experience
• Don't obsess over right and wrong decisions
• Stop defending your self-image
• Go beyond risks
• Make no decision when in doubt
• See the possibilities in whatever happens
• Find the stream of joy
