This is the story of the Chinese farmer…
I first heard this from Alan Watts—and it stuck with me big time.
The idea is simple: something happens, and instead of calling it good or bad, the farmer just says… “maybe.”
You never really know if the challenge you’re facing right now is actually a blessing in disguise.
We get so caught up when life isn’t going the way we planned—frustrated, impatient, trying to force things—but maybe… just maybe… life is working out exactly how it’s meant to.
This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes (second favorite, actually):
“Life is happening for you, not to you.” —Tony Robbins
It’s a good one to keep in your back pocket—especially on a Monday.
.
So if you're feeling off-track or like things aren’t clicking the way you hoped, hang in there. There might be something bigger at work here.
You never know what this moment is preparing you for.
