" There is always some chance that whatever you have could be taken away from you. When you do everything in your power to prevent that from happening, you suck the joy right out of life.

When I made that pivot in my own life, all of a sudden I wasn’t as stressed out. I still work hard and I still try to make wise decisions, but I do what I can and then I leave the rest up to fate. I can’t control fate and I don’t even bother trying. "
