I’ve lived some good stories now, and those stories have improved the quality of my life. But I’ve also let go of the idea things will ever be made perfect, at least while I am walking around this planet. I’ve let go of the idea that this life has a climax… When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. And when you stop expecting material possesions to complete you, you’d be suprised at how much pleasure you get in material posessions. And when you stop expecting God to end all your troubles, you’d be suprised how much you like spending time with God.
