‘Any form of desire and striving involves some form of tension. When you let go of the desire, the tension goes. And the relaxation that replaces it tends to attract good things to your life.’ I have no idea why that is true – but it is, isn’t it? It’s why the guys you don’t like like you – because you are relaxed and being yourself. It’s why people fall pregnant after years of trying just when they give up. It’s why when you decide to quit your job you actually start enjoying it. You just take the tension out of everything and it goes much better.
